I just picked up a 2.5" 500GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 SATA hard drive from Memory Express:

I am just wondering if anyone has this drive, or similar Seagate drives and could confirm whether the seek noises should sound like tiny metal-on-metal scrapes? It's very faint, but louder than my old Western Digital and somewhat noticeable when the room is quiet.
Otherwise, it seems to work just fine, Ive ran a disk scan with no errors, and here is the SMART data (funky looking results):
Never owned a Seagate before (other than an EE25 extreme environment...but that's a different class), but I have never heard any hard drive with seeking sounds as strange as this...
