    Occasionally I have a problem with by disk drive, where disks make a loud sound (kind of a cross between humming and buzzing). As far as I can tell the disks aren't warped, and there is nothing to off kilter the weight distribution on the disk. This doesn't happen all the time, but does with a few select disks (ex. Fargo DVD). I'm pretty sure I pushed the disks all the way into the center thing, but it keeps happening.

    The drive is the DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim (Serial ATA).

    Call support and get it replaced. Could just be the discs too.
