Default "clink" sound on shutdown from newly installed notebook HDD (Seagate - ST96023A) - please help

I just replaced my notebook HDD (Fujitsu - MHK2120AT) with
a new HDD (Seagate - ST96023A). But now,
I am hearing a slight "clink" sound on shutdown. Is this normal?

Likely, its probably just the heads parking.

I hope this is common of the Seagate ST96023A and
not a bad pick. The old Fujitsu MHK2120AT was
so quiet compared to the new Seagate ST96023A.
Just curious ... anyone out there have a quiet Seagate ST96023A?

You should be asking Seagate if that sound is normal.

Activate power management and wait until the HDD enters the power saving
mode. If you hear the "clink" then it's normal.

If this requires a good battery, it won't work.
I usually have my laptop docked (or plugged in) because
the battery is dead.

Another Seagate ST96023A (from a different store) has
the same characteristic so I guess this model is not a quiet parker.
