Asked the same question myself. Positive answers, one being to clean the dust out of hard drive. So I undid the side panel, and proceeded to hoover and remove the thick dust. Was very careful not to touch anything inside the hard drive. Cleaned the motor fan, put panel back on. Switched on PC and joy of joys, a quiet running hard drive, a pleasure to be in the office now and work on computer.
hard drive, CD or DVD player....
The cooling fan has thrown a bearing. The hard drive is loud and should/could be replaced. If it only makes noise when the led for the drive is on then it is probably the hard drive. It was probably dropped in shipping. Thank the shipper for that one.
It means that you hard drive is about to die, you need to make a backup and be ready to get a new hard drive.
To start, the hard drive cable connects your hard drive to your motherboard. Its really simple.
If you try and start a computer with no hard drive then you cant save stuff
Changes are that it's a fan and not the hard drive. However, if it is the hard drive, chances that the internal bearings are going bad. I'd replace the drive and transfer the contents as soon as possible, before the drive completely crashes.
Saving game to your hard drive can lead to faster load times, and the xbox will make less noise because the disk drive will not be spinning.
The noise is most likely the hard drive. This is a common way to tell that the hard drive is going bad. It may continue to work for a while but it will start loosing data and will quit entirely sooner or later.
Nothing except it makes a louder noise

Most likely the noise is made by the power supply or a failing hard drive.
