Hey is it normal for an external HDD to let out a squeaking noise every time it stops spinning from being unplugged

@socks does it make the same noise when it spins down from inactivity?

@noiob I don't think I've had it plugged in long enough for that to happen

@socks power failure braking usually sounds troubling (though that thing is kinda loud)
