Anytime I write to my Samsung 830 (256 GB) SSD it emits a rather loud squeal/coil whine.

Any thoughts on what to do besides RMA?

    Thats definately NOT normal behaviour, and you are probably best off getting the drive replaced.

    I have a Corsair force and it's squealing with frequency relative to speed of reading/writing (writing is louder). It's annoying but I register that only in silent spaces.

  • What answer do you expect other than it being a defect? Unless you go for RMA or some expensive or weird silencing techniques, there isn't much you can do; and I would really prefer the RMA over anything else, because that SSD isn't free and you don't want its breakage to cost you money...

RMA the drive, nothing else you can do other than waiting for it to fail.
