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...
@Pogo!
Thank you for the link. This sound is exactly the same as the sound coming from my ReadyNAS.
So I just want to confirm: This is a Win 2008 server with and Adaptec RAID controller?
And yes, if you've found that Intellipark is disabled, than that's not the problem.
It certainly looks like a bad interaction between the Adaptec RAID controller - either hardware or firmware - and the WD drives.
I'll add this info to my case. I'm also curious what kind of RAID controller the Pro Pioneer uses. The answer to that question could point to the problem source and solution.
