    To be fair, that has not changed much. I have a Datacenter HDD in my desktop system and the first time powering that thing up sounded like it just shredded the plates and i’m going to be bombarded with shrapnels. But in normal operation, it makes a rather soothing (at least for me) clackety-clack sound. My other, normal desktop HDD not making any noise apart from spinning up is something that i find rather irritating tbh.

      You got used to the clackety-clack, that’s why it annoys you 😂.

      It is true though. When I had my PC running 24/7, I couldn’t go to sleep if it was off (for some reason 😂).
