Sony Vaio CR Problem?

so i had the vaio fz140 for about a week, but i discovered that it had the fan "crashing waves" problem. i returned it and bought the vaio cr120 instead. However, i find that my laptop hard drive "clicks" very loudly, pretty annoying actually. i read in the review that it was also loud in the test unit. does anyone else with the CR have this problem?

 

I'm not hearing any clicking noises at all.

 

Yeah, i have a sony CR120 too, but it doesn't make any noise at all. Really silent for me

 

Im using CR14GN, i too dont seem to hear something like that either.. Do u have any read write errors? or bad block error in event viewer?

 

i don't really know what that means. but in the event viewer, there were 463 errors in the last 24 hours (more like 8 hours) and 314 warnings. nothing critical. could you please tell me what this means? thanks

 

I hear a slight "clicking" on my unit, but nothing too annoying.

 

Same here. I hear a clicking noise but that's it.

 

And mine doesn't even do it all the time.

 

what about thickness? is it a problem ? i'm talking about the 1.7" height. is it noticeable? For me, that is my major concern.

 

The clicking sound is a sign of hard drive defect. Return the one you have and get a new one. You have 30 days by law to return a product you are not satisfied with.

 

"what about thickness? is it a problem ? i'm talking about the 1.7" height. is it noticeable? For me, that is my major concern."

I was worried about the thickness too, but when I saw it in person I didn't think it looked chunky at all.

 

yea..i guess i do have a defective hard drive. i will exchange it for a new one soon. i must have really bad luck or sony quality control sucks

regarding the size of the laptop, i don't think its as big as its portrayed to be. i think that the shinyness makes you overlook that aspect...lol

 

as long as it doesnt look like a dell, its fine. they are technically slimmer... but they do look bulky.
