If it's a mount problem, is it possible that it's provoked by or aggravated by the fact that I have a single drive but I'm using the two-drive twinbreeze bracket? If I recall correctly, the original mounting bracket is affixed by four screws, but the twinbreeze only has two.
Oddly, I notice that pushing on the top of the case changes the noise . . .

It might be failing, or it might just be a little loose on its mount. Maybe reseat it and see if that fixes it.Leave a comment:

intermittent hard drive noise?
I replaced the hard drive in my DirecTivo a little less than two months ago. Over the last several days, I've noticed noise from the hard drive that comes and goes (at intervals of a few hours, I think) -- a humming sound with varying pitch. At first I thought it was associated with recording, but I'm also getting it when I wasn't recording; then I thought it was associated with garbage collection or indexing, but I'm also getting it at times when the info screen doesn't report recent garbage collection or indexing. Other than that, I haven't observed any misbehavior from the DirecTivo. I'm kind of stumped. Is the drive getting ready to go bad on me already?
