I'm running 2010.5 with the 8" X 5" black external hard drive ( that came with the Audiophile version).
This was a much larger HD than the one issued in 2009. I don't know if its just the one I got, but every
time I turn it on, it makes a loud spinning noise, like somthing is loose or out of alignment in the
disks rotation. After 10-15 minutes, it settles down a bit, but still sounds not right for a HD.

I know there had been a bad run of them in 2009, and BIAB gave me a replacement. I don't know if anyone
had problems with their 2010.5 HD's, but rather than send it back, I would just get the 2011 upgrade, hoping
for a smoother running HD. Can anyone chime in on how the latest HDs have been operating?

I would be willing to pay more for BIAB, if you could have an option for the Audiophile version to
ship on a Seagate or somthing that runs a bit better.
