Espionage724 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm currently running iDeneb 10.5.8 on the hardware in my sig, and although this is a temporary OS (i plan to go to Snow Leopard), I noticed that my hard drive sounds like it just shuts off at times. I think the first time it happened I wasn't able to move the mouse, but it became responsive again a short time later. The second time it happened, I was still able to use the mouse. And it just happened again while I was typing this. Mouse was unresponsive for a short time, and then a short time later it became responsive again and then a warning came up telling me of unsafe device removal (I think it was the flash drive I have in). I have the Hard Drive sleep option disabled in system settings. Also during iDeneb setup, I didn't check anything specific to my HDD or SATA chipset (there was something there for AHCI, but I left it alone) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278249-random-hard-drive-shutoff-noise/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
