I have a thinkpad t61p with a 128GB Crucial m4 in it and it makes a fairly old laptop absolutely fly along. The drive, however, makes a combination of a very high pitched whining and a slight clicking noise. I gather that in spite of SSDs having no moving parts this isn't uncommon and isn't a reason for concern. Unfortunately it's really annoying in a silent room with an otherwise almost silent laptop.
How hot do SSDs get? Could I wrap in in some kitchen roll or a similar material to deaden the sound without risking damage to the drive?
