https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/new-intel-730-ssd-making-a-constant-high-pitch-noise/m-p/11122#M2555 <P>I just replaced a 9.5mm HDD in my Lenovo T420 with a 730 (7mm) and everything is working flawlessly except for a constant high pitch noise that seems to be coming from the SSD. I had to do a little jury rigging to make it fit in the 9.5mm rubbery rails that go on either side of the hard drive. First I used bits of heat shrink for wire to fill the empty space, but I thought maybe the high pitch noise was from a fan or something oscillating inside the heat shrink. Now I have an H shape of cardboard in there to hold it in place, which seems to be working pretty well. I don't think the temp of the cardboard should become an issue (right??). It's still making the high pitch noise, and it's driving me a little bit batty. Any thoughts on what could be causing the noise, or troubleshooting to figure it out?</P><P></P><P>Thanks in advance!</P> Fri, 05 Dec 2014 04:23:14 GMT DKauf 2014-12-05T04:23:14Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/new-intel-730-ssd-making-a-constant-high-pitch-noise/m-p/11122#M2555 <P>I just replaced a 9.5mm HDD in my Lenovo T420 with a 730 (7mm) and everything is working flawlessly except for a constant high pitch noise that seems to be coming from the SSD.

This is a high performance drive and requires enough airflow to dissipate the heat.</P><P>We wonder if you have the chance to test this SSD as a secondary drive in another system, preferably a desktop system.</P> Fri, 05 Dec 2014 19:01:06 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/new-intel-730-ssd-making-a-constant-high-pitch-noise/m-p/11123#M2556 Jose_H_Intel1 2014-12-05T19:01:06Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/new-intel-730-ssd-making-a-constant-high-pitch-noise/m-p/11124#M2557 <P>I have exactly the same problem. After one week of usage SSD 730 (480GB) started making noticeable noises, especial while reading or writing big amounts of data.</P><P></P><P>Please advise!</P> Thu, 25 Dec 2014 02:06:24 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/new-intel-730-ssd-making-a-constant-high-pitch-noise/m-p/11124#M2557 TAkop 2014-12-25T02:06:24Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/new-intel-730-ssd-making-a-constant-high-pitch-noise/m-p/11125#M2558 <P>All, would you please share a video showing where the Intel® SSD is installed as well as the noise it produces?</P><P>Does the issue only happen during intense workload or also when the drive is idle? How can it be reproduced?</P><P>beaverat, please provide the brand and model of your system.</P> Wed, 31 Dec 2014 00:07:00 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/new-intel-730-ssd-making-a-constant-high-pitch-noise/m-p/11125#M2558 Jose_H_Intel1 2014-12-31T00:07:00Z
