SSDSA2MH080G2 noise during intense read/write

Best way to describe the noise is a high-pitched squeeling. Best way to reproduce is to run HD tune Benchmark for Read. It's almost a constant sound and it's awful. Is this normal? Any chance I have a defective SSD? Definitely never heard it before, with my old hitachi 7.2k, same test.

Update -- think I resolved it, read my last message in this thread: http://communities.intel.com/message/84606# 84606

I have same problem.

Run a CPU stress utility like Prime95. If you can hear the same noise, it's more like to be mobo or psu components resonating.

I tried Prime95 -> CPU 100% but....perfect quiet, no problem is not in CPU, any other idea?

No noise... Should I RMA this drive? Also, the speed seems inconsistent, and not nearly as fast as I was expecting... but that's no real surprise given the uber hype all around the interweb.
