I would greatly appreciate any help
or input as I have to make the decision if I need to return the new computer,
something I really did not want to do.
I just have turned on my computer
Acer Aspire TC 780 K i3-7100CPU , 1TB hard drive , 7250rpm, Ram 8GB
for the first time.
My hard drive ( no, its not the fan)
makes this sound upon boot up and continuing of what I
perceived to be a muffled rattle, like constant popcorn popping. It
is it continual
It would be quite annoying to listen to
this all day . I think, it gets a little better when its hibernating,
but it does not stop.
Has anyone encountered this with an
Acer or for that matter with any 1 TB Sata hard drive?
Is this normal?
I hate to sent the computer back to
Amazon, thinking its defect, then order the same computer and find
out that has the same problem.
I have not even yet really used the
Acer computer yet . I just now set it up, and the power is just on
now that is all . It still has the low muffled rattle occasionally.
I have had several computers before,
including a laptop Acer, none had a noise of the hard drive.
But I also never owned a 1TB hard
drive with or 7200RPM .
I have listened to the sounds of
failing hard drives on “data cent” .
The knocking sound is the closest to
mine also I do have more of a muffled rattle . The last Acer rep said
the hard drive ( Essex) on this Acer should have no sound, my
computer must be defect.
However, I saw some other posts online
of persons owning Acer desktops with a 2 TB drive hearing similar
sounds and others agreed they have this as well ( different computer)
.
This makes me wonder if its an Acer
desktop issue?
