NamV Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Same here, except that I'm using a desktop with 2 SATA drives. I have iDeneb 1.4 and I notice the HDDs emit significant more noise than when I use Ubuntu and Windows. Could this harm the HDD in the long run?

Enrico1985 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Spotlight indexing? I disabled it under Tiger because it hoged the CPU and kept the disk busy.. working much better under Leopard for me though Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/160500-hard-drive-making-noise/#findComment-1123870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant' see any useful option in the System Prefernce -> Spotlight panel.

Olotiar Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Ok, I figured out it was a program named ResDaemon who make this annoying noise, As this is meant to control the resolution I wonder why it is it's fault but removing it solved my problem, my computer is silent again If anybody as an idea, would be glad to know.
