Fan Loud

[Strung]

Hello,

I have recent issue with my setup. I start my readynas RN102 and the fan is loud.

I have investigate problem and see in monitoring page one of disk with no temperature display.

The faulty disk has been removed from the box and fan is now silent. If i plug it again, the fan becomes loud again. I have tried to reboot but no sucess, the fan is loud again with the sceond disk connected.

DO you think this disk is out of order or can i update something like firmware to resolve issue ?

The model is old but in compatibility hardware disk (Seagate ST1000DM003), can i changed it for a new reference like ST1000DM010 associated to the first disk of the raid (ST1000DM003 too) ?

Thans for your help.

Regards

I don't think this is about the ReadyNAS firmware - but just in case, what firmware are you running?

Hi, When you plug the second disk in, it maybe doing resync. If so, Fan may be loud. If after volume is synced, fan is still loud, try to set the fan mode to 'Quite' on UI>System>Performance>Status.

Hi,

I was thinking update the firmware of hard drive. I don't think this issue ils relatée to readynas.

The fan has always been setup on silent.

I am runing the last stable firmware 6.9.5

I doubt that updating the drive firmware will matter. 

Are you seeing a rise in disk temps when the fan is loud?  I realize that you aren't always seeing the temps reported.

Do you have disk spindown enabled?  I believe you will see this behavior when a drive is spun down.

If i replug the faulty disk, the fan is loud (3200 tr/min) after few minutes and I see :

 - 25 °c for first disk

- 122°C for second disk

- 50°C for CPU

I have disabled spin down but same result. 

If I remove the faulty disk, the fan becomes silent after few minutes (700tr/min).

I a using this setup since 4 years without a problem... Strange

Do you think i can associated the fist disk st1000dm003 with a st100dm001 (same capacity but not in hardware compatilibty) to rebuild X-RAID ?

Is disk 2 the "faulty disk"?  Have you checked how hot it is when you remove it?

That will work, but generally I recommend either NAS-purposed or enterprise class drives (for instance, Seagate Ironwolf or Ironwolf Pro).  WDC Red, WDC Red Pro are also good options.

Yes second disk is faulty one, it is warm but not hot !

Possibly it's temperature sensor is faulty.  It's simplest to just replace it.

[Strung]

I correct last answer, when the fan is loud with second disk. The disk is not warm.

How can i replace temp sensor ?

You can't.  It's inside the disk.

You could try powering down, and removing disk 1 - booting up with only disk 2 installed (in slot 2).  Then see if you also get the same result with the fan (and confirm that the disk actually boots).

Hello,

I have tried to boot with just second idsk inserted in NAS and I have the same problem with fan loud.

I have inserted in a computer and try the seatools from Seagate. A long repair has been executed with success and SMART is responding but I have always 144 °C for the disk. But it is cold if I touch it with my hand...

I think I will replace it if no more action can be performed.

If you have any idea...

Hello,

I have replaced the faulty disk by a new one (ST1000DM010): Raid is now sync and no loud fan anymore.

I have setup the faulty disk in a computer and it works perfectly but Information of this disk give me 111°C...

Problem is resolved.

Maybe RMA the disk to Seagate (assuming it is under warranty).  Though if you just purchased it, you should exchange it with the seller (since that would give you a new drive, and not a recertified one with a shorter warranty).
