SSD Sound
I have a crucial CT500MX500SSD1 and have it installed for a good while...months.
Recently I took the sides off my tower to mess with a HDD. Basically I unplugged it because I think it is failing and I want to preserve before I do a backup.
I have since noticed an electrical buzzing (i am hyper-sensitive to sound, my wife thinks i'm crazy. "do you hear that?" "hear what" "that buzzing..." "no" "you don't hear that?????"
anyway its a rhythmical buzzing. I have opened task manager and noticed that this drive (I have 1 more SSD and a HDD) is making the sound whenever it's accessed which is pretty much constantly. TM shows write/read and the drive buzzes. It is not a physical sound it sounds electrical. Not shorting out...
Could this be the drive itself? I have never had a SSD go bad on me.
Crucial self-test says it's in good health.
