Clicking sound with Seagate Barracuda LP ST32000542AS 2TB
Hi I got a new NVX and at that moment these Seagate disks were the only ones on the compatibility list, so I was stupid enough to buy 4 of them. (Shame on you Netgear for not having more disks on t...
Hey mates, i FINALLY found a sorta PERMANENT FIX for the clicking noise coming out of the seagate 2tb drives. i have RMA’d it twice and no to avail. its related to an idle thing, doesnt happen when your accessing it,. well im SURE you all didnt buy a 2tb drive just for games,im sure you download TORRENTS…so what you got to do is the follow :
1) Download any torrent client and install it
2) Set the SAVE path of your torrent files to the 2TB drive
3) SILENCE!
This is because the downloads use the disk and thus it never goes idle, its only a 5900rpm and will not affect it with heat or heavy power draw.
well the CC35 is no help here,looks like a technical manufacturing fault
If you dont download anything, just download a very small program and let it seed, so even the upload counts as disk activity and you will have no more noise.
