So heres what i got

imac 21.5 top of the line version 8 gb ram
2tb western digital mybook

Every half hour or so while im playing a game or something my harddrive fan turns on and light flashes and i get a pinwheel on my comp for 5-10 seconds its not that big a deal but its just annoying, im not doing time machine backups or anything. Is there any other solution other then turning off the drive to stop this?
