    The Seagate 5400.5 i bought a month ago has started ticking like crazy, the ticking noise drives me crazy. I will try to swap it for another brand. Can someone recommend me a good noiseless drive that doesn't tick?

    This is the second Seagate drive that fails for me so no more Seagates. The store had many Samsung and WD drives, anyone know if they are tick free?
