i'm sick and tired if the annoying clicking sound my ps3's hard drive makes when loading or installing. it really hurts the mood of gaming, like in a cut-scene with a dramatic pause, all of the sudden the hdd goes *click click click*. i know that solid state drives are dead silent, but they're also way too expensive. what are some really quiet hard drives that?are there silent or nearly silent hard drives that you can recommend? a capacity of more than 80gb would be great, since i don't want to compromise space. thanks for your help.

What click click click? Are you sure you're not talking about the sound the disc drive makes when reading a disc sometimes? Sort of printer-ish?

I'm not sure, but I never hear a click click. When my HDD loads or uploads data I don't hear much at all.

it's the same noise a computer makes, "thinking sound." you can't really hear it during gameplay, only cut-scenes or quiet parts. but imagine this: Solis snake was just told he is needs to die in 3 months, he is shocked and there can't say a thing. you see a close up on his face and you wait for the dramatic music to start, and then... *click click click* stupid hard drive ruins the mood.

Yeah, it's less of a "click click click" and more like a "spweee spweee swee". Or maybe a "wooog wooog wooog". "Ruum ruuum roooom"? Onomatopoeia is fun.

a clicking sound coming from a hard drive means that it's about to die...better back up just in case and get a new one

Solid State drives and cheap dont belong in the same sentence, just a 32gb will cost you like $180 usd
