Apple replaced my 24" imac after they couldn't solve a problem with the display. They gave me a brand new 27 inch iMac with a 3.2 i3 and a 1 tb hd. I'm hearing a soft rumbling sound from the drive, maybe every 10 to 15 seconds (maybe longer sometimes) It also makes the noise when opening up an application.
Is this normal? I've only had it today (as I write this post) and was wondering how many others have had this. The machine is wonderful otherwise. But I don't have this problem with my MB Pro or my old 24" machine -- that was as quiet as a churchmouse.
The noise, as I said, is soft and not particularly annoying (at least not yet) But I'd really like to see if there's a problem. I went into the "about this mac" and looked up the serial ATA and saw that the model is ST31000528AS. Can anyone tell me about this (brand, etc)
