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...
The backup drive noise sounds like when using a very fragmented hard drive.
But my drives are new WD Red 4GB drives.
Doing backup using an old Synology DS214+ NAS (which the RN102 is supposed to replace) it does not move heads this much.

I think part of the noise was the NAS was busy rebuilding volumes while I did my Time Machine backup.

That would create a lot of disk thrashing. Fans would likely run faster too.
