Hard Drive Noise

Question/Advice

Got 2 refurbished hard drives from bargin hardware on ebay. Plugged them in created a truenas dataset and they are making sounds like light knocking. They made a constant noise when I first plugged them in i thought was just initalisation of the drives. PSU is a 850w

What is smartctl reporting on them? Sounds like failing head or bad sector.

With that said, I had a 16TB shucked drive be loud when I got it (knocked, but not rhythmic like this one is being). Mine has quieted down over time but I can faintly hear it when it's working hard.

Says it passed. All numbers look fine. ChatGPT says all the values are fine

Hmmm... Read Recovery Attempts: 7

Run a long test: smartctl -t long /dev/sda
Probably 24+ hours for 14 TB. Compare values after.

Do it monthly and keep comparing. Also listen for changes, knocking increases.

Could just be an aged actuator. 32K hours is high. (Almost 4 years 24/7)
