Avoid Seagate ST8000VN0002 - Horrible noise issue!
Hi, I have installed four of the Seagate ST8000VN0002 in my RN716x and just finished the resync of all disks. Unfortunately I now have an annoying beeping/humming noise when the disks are idling....

Not sure about humming, but beeping is usually a sign that the disk is mechanically defective. Seagate will accept RMA'd beeping disks even if they pass Seatools.
Have you confirmed that this sound is coming from all four disks?
Hopefully other people who purchased these disks will chime in. Though I use Western Digital myself, having choices is always a good thing.
All four are humming and SeaTools reports no problem. Seagate support says this is normal behavior. This video shows the problem: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2V7JYAOVTZ587/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01BBKYNJG
