Do you by any chance know the exact model of your hard drive?

It can be found in the System Profiler:

Blue Apple (top left) -> About This Mac -> More Info... -> Serial-ATA

Hi Andy. For my system boot drive, I use the standard 250 GB Seagate (I think) hard drive that shipped with the Mac Pro. For photo storage and manipulation, I've added two 500 GB Western Digital WDCaviar SE16 drives running at 7200 RPM as my primary and backup data disks. Here are the parameters for the 250 GB system boot drive:

Capacity:   232.89 GB
Model:   ST3250824AS P
Revision:   3.BQH
Serial Number:   4ND4MZK8
Native Command Queuing:   Yes
Queue Depth:   32

I have the exact same model, and it is LOUD. Clickety, click. Click, click, click!

What're your experiences?

Compared to the HD in my Dual 2.5 G5 (I never noted the HD model), this Pro's is very loud, and I am beginning to think it may be a faulty HD.

Hi Andy. My Mac Pro is right next to my desk and I never hear the hard drives. In fact, I barely hear anything at all from it. Occasionally, when I'm really doing some intense processing in Aperture, I might start hearing the graphics card fan (barely) as it gets a little faster, but that's pretty much the only noise I hear.

Hmm...sounds like mine's buggered!

Is anybody able to recommend a good replacement HD for the Mac Pro?
