I've got an external drive on the Mac Mini for Time Machine (automatic system image backup).
It just woke up from a dormant state, made a REALLY loud R2D2 "BLEEP" followed by some other equally R2D2-like noises, and went back to sleep. Then the Mini screen went dark (inactivity - totally normal).
I've got at least 10 of this type of external drive in various storage capacities and I have NEVER heard any kind of noises like THAT come out of one!
I'm going to assume I didn't get enough sleep and was just trippin'
