crazymelki enthusiast Registered: 16/02/2001 Posts: 373 Loc: Switzerland	Hello, I got today my addional 20GB Travelstar HDD. It's a brand new one. I did open the bag and was shaking the disk. Now I can here some noise from inside the HDD? I did shake a 3.5" HDD. There is no noise! Is this normal? Thanks... CrazyMelki _________________________ crazymelki.com
