I purchased a hitachi model number HTS541616J9SA00 laptop drive for my macbook. After installing it into my macbook I get a most annoying beeping sound coming from the area the hard drive is in. I can remove the drive and put back in my factory drive and not have the problem. Could you please help me with what is going on do I have a defective drive? . Also with the drive in I am not noticing any data loose or anything just the beeping. Thank you.
 
This is an old thread, but I just put in the same HD (Hitachi HTS541616J9SA00, 160GB), and get intermittent beeps as well that seem to come from the HD.

Anyone else get this?
