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....
I do not have a solution, but would like to offer a possible workaround.
As you say the disks a creating the humming when being idle, why not just enable spin-down. At least you will experience some relief until you might hopefully get a final solution. Once the spin-down is applied the disks should be silent until they wake up the next time. So, silence as long they have nothing to do due to applied spin-down.
In case you already enabled spindown, just please ignore my comment.
Spin-down doesn't help. The only remedy is the firmware update. Fortunately, after the firmware update they're really nice disks and well worth their price.
