my hard drive is quite noisy. it makes a lot of noise when moving the
head, which i supose i can do nothing to prevent, but also it makes
much noise when spinning. it is much louder than the fan, and my other
disk drives.

would lubricating it somehow make it quieter?
where whould i put the lubrication anyway?
is motor oil fine?

gwoho liu.
