Western Digital WD1002FBYS head click noise (#10987106)
Hi Everyone, I need help with what appears to be a compatibility issue with the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer and HCL approved Western Digital drives. For background please see: Strange Problem with West...
@dhl:
I have similar problems with ReadyNAS duo...
The Seagate LP 1tb drive that I bought starts to make some random clicking noise while on idle and the noise it makes is very loud, at least twice the noise as normal write/read operation.
I have also tested with Seagate 500GB ES.2, it has similar behavior and googled to see if anyone has this problem and it seems that a lot of people are having problems with clicking noise and eventually the drive fails.

so maybe it has to do with the firmware.
