Hi, I have six Toshiba Canvio external HDDs. some are 500Gb, some are 1TB. They all run quietly except one that occasionally, (and sometimes often when it is working), makes a chirping sound, which is a little irritating. It doesn't seem to affect it's operation but I am wondering if this is normal or within its tolerance of operation? If I put my ear up to it while it is working I can hear the motor kicking in and out and and the high chirp sound is when it either starts up or stops...
