Confused because of noise..

Hello,

I got today my addional 20GB Travelstar HDD. It's a brand new one. I did open the bag and was shaking the disk. Now I can here some noise from inside the HDD?

I did shake a 3.5" HDD. There is no noise!

Is this normal?

Thanks...

Yes, it's normal. There's something in most laptop drives that makes that rattle, maybe it's something to do with the head lock mechanism.

Toshiba even go as far to print "rattle noise normal" on top of some drives!
