    Anyone have a FW390CTO or a newer FW notice that every time the hard drive is running you can hear it, a creeking sound. The hard drive i have on mine is the 160GB 5400rpm. I don't know if this only occur with this one hard drive or the brand that sony using. My 2 year old dell e1505 inspiron hard drive is quiet.

    Anyone hear the loud creeking with their FW hard drive running?
