hmmm wonder if I can get help with this one, i bought an intel 320 ssd 120gb and installed it in my acer aspire 7720g. I started hearing a sort of buzzing/ chirping noise kinda like the noise you would hear from a normal hard drive but much more electronic, a bit like an old 56k modem lol. I presumed something was wrong with it so I put my ear up against were the laptop is and it was definitely from the ssd.
i also took it out and tried it on several computers and laptops, both internally and externally. I sent it back to the retailer and told them there is a fault with the ssd. They checked it and tested it and it turns out there was a fault so they sent me a replacement. I installed the replacement and little to my shock it was exactly the same except slightly quieter.
I then rang intel and they told me that they have never heard of such a thing and to send it back to the retailer immediately as there is definitely a fault. I sent it back and same thing they said there was a fault. I am now on my 3rd ssd, and guess what, exactly the same....
I know it must be really rare for it to happen, but I have my 3rd ssd and cannot be bothered sending it back, because most likely the same thing will happen haha, has anyone got any suggestions? Anything I'm missing here, I am pretty sure they should be silent...am i just that unlucky?
Thanks in advance

Sounds normal to me. All three of my SSDs (possibly just the laptops themselves) make that chirping sound.
Weird noises from Intel 320 SSD 120gb? Or is it just me
