My macbook pro came with a hitachi 250gb hdd, and I never heard any noise.

I instaled an samsung m8 750gb and while it is very silent when operating, it does makes a very annoying sound from time to time..a weird sound that reminds me of boiling water..

Both hard drives are 5400rpm..

My question is.. Is it because the new one uses two platters or that annoying sound is just a caracteristic of samsung hdd? I thought about buying another hitachi but I heard ppl complaining about those 750gb models too.
