Hard Drive noise on Time Machine
Hello, I have been using a WD Green 2TB on my readynas 102, and I use Time machine. But when Time machine is backing up, drive makes lots of noise. I just changed the hard drive for a brand new WD...
Thanks for your suggestions.
I recorded a video while backing up with Time Machine so you can hear the noise. It's definitely the hard drive and not the fan. The fan is actually really quiet.
When copying or reading files from the NAS through smb (large files), the hard drive noise is so much subtle.
