• Hard drives emitting slow pulsating hum sound
    6 replies, posted
I just got two new Samsung F3's (500gb) and set them up with RAID-0(and spent over seven hours trying to get the Win7 installer to detect it, and to no avail) and I suspect that either one of my four drives has started emitting a slow pulsating hum sound. I'm guessing it's due to vibrations going into the chassis. So my questions are: Are there any cheap(er) alternatives to anti-vibration mounts that wont damage the drives? And if not, can I still use my computer without worrying it might cause permanent damage while waiting for my order to arrive?
one could be offset, S.M.A.R.T may provide some help same with Samsung Health tools.
I tried SpeedFan, doesn't show my RAID drive
[QUOTE=Deruu;21240201]I tried SpeedFan, doesn't show my RAID drive[/QUOTE] Did you try using Samsungs harddrive progrms like he said?
It's just standard drive droning noise, nothing is going to get damaged.
isn't RAID-0 the worst of them all? It offers slight speed increases but massive instability and chances of data loss and is not recommended for a primary drive? Or am i mistaken?
