Quite agree Basil - I've got a 7 year old server with raid5 array and those disks have been hammering away, 24 hours a day for the last 7 years non-stop. Seems array controllers access drives more often than either Linux or windoze.
I guess the thing that was worrying me was the sound - it's not buzzing or humming or grinding, in fact it sounds like totally normal hard drive noise, (and really quiet since it's a new notebook drive and I have to hunch over and listen carefully to hear it) but the frequency with which I heard the thrrrrp-click was disturbing. If it's nothing to worry about I'm really, really happy. Best, Nick
