- This may be an FAQ; I hope not.
-
- I just bought the Quantum 240 AT hard disk drive. It has an on-board
- 256K cache, supposedly, and is supposed to be blinding fast. I haven't
- really gotten a chance to test its speed, but I have noticed that
- even when nothing's going on, it seems to make a chukka-chukka-chukka
- sound about every ten seconds.
-
- Is this normal? Am I misinterpreting what I'm hearing? I didn't get
- any docs with this drive (it came installed in a system I bought)
- and I'd like to know what's going on. It's a little disconcerting
- and I'm sure it's going to bother me when I'm trying to think.
-
- What's the story here?
