Hi Ashleigh,

Well the news gets better!! (In my opinion anyway)

I have 3 Seagate™ Hard Disc Drives that do exactly the same as yours...it is an inherit idiocyncrasy with them, and nothing at all to be overly concerned about.

Seagate™ themselves have told me that it is quite normal, for them to 'grate' whilst "spinning up", and nothing to be concerned about.

So there you are...problem solved. (hopefully) :Laugh:

Kind Regards,
