Subject: [Thinkpad] E7K60 vs 7K60 Travelstar noise level

> Hi:
> I was wondering if anyone happens to have both of these drives. I picked
up a E7K60 from zipzzoomfly. While it is superfast is also has an odd noise
about it that is a bit annoying. At seemingly random times it seems to make
a "seeking" type sound. Even just booted into the BIOS and let it sit to
make sure it wasn't the OS. This doesn't seem to affect performance in
anyway it is just noisy. I was wondering if someone has both and does hear
it on the E and not on the normal version. I got the E thinking it would be
more reliable based on it is made for 24/7 operations. But I'm thinking the
normal version would have been a better choice due to the noise.
