Message-ID: <7442.152.forumexp@mts.rpi.edu> Date: Tue, 30-Jun-87 10:58:00 EDT Article-I.D.: mts.7442.152.forumexp Posted: Tue Jun 30 10:58:00 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 4-Jul-87 02:02:27 EDT Lines: 15 I installed a Seagate St225 20meg hard drive in my Zenith 148 XT clone a couple of weeks ago and have noticed that it emits a constant vibration. The vibration is strong enough to be transmitted thoughout the case of the computer and can be felt in the table top supporting the machine. The vibration is not especially noisy -- some noise, but more like the hum of a refrigerator though not that loud. I know the St225 is a fairly common drive for PC's. I'd be very grateful if others who own them would let me know if theirs also vibrate. I need to figure out if I should try to return the drive for a new one. Thanks. Tim Stephen
