I don't mind it when it is loading something but when it is just a little bit here and there, it annoys me for some reason. This new case seems to be amplifying their sound. My old case, I couldn't hear them at all unless the side was off. Maybe one of my HDDs is about to die? :(

If it is going to die, I hope it dies soon. It is still inside of Seagate's 5 year warranty. :D

FordGT90Concept download HD Tune... Best tool to check harddrive health. There is a lot of things you can do or try to make your hard drive quieter, but the best and usually the cheapest is get a new drive. That's if you value your time spent.

Cooler Master makes a great HD cage http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817993002. You can't beat the price either. I have it and its a great product. I have 3x WD 250 RAID0 (these drives where built for RAID not stand alone use. My read is Min 126.4MB/sec Max 172.7MB/sec... Not bad for 39.99 drives.)

Using the "COOLER MASTER STB-3T4-E3-GP 4-in-3 Device Module Hardisk Cage" I never hear my drives.. but I do have 4x 80mm 3x 120mm plus my zalman 9700, and fans in my corsair 750TX.

I believe an application called Speedfan has like a HDD diagnostic test where it tells you how many times its cycled on and off etc and it compares it to other results. Then it gathers the info and tells you compared to others if its good or not. Doesn't mean s**t but it can more or less give you a clue if its bad or not.
S.M.A.R.T. tab doesn't say anything in SpeedFan.


FordGT90Concept download HD Tune... Best tool to check harddrive health. There is a lot of things you can do or try to make your hard drive quieter, but the best and usually the cheapest is get a new drive. That's if you value your time spent.

Code:
HD Tune: Intel   Raid 0 Volume Benchmark

Transfer Rate Minimum : 23.2 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Maximum : 103.1 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Average : 83.8 MB/sec
Access Time           : 14.4 ms
Burst Rate            : 88.3 MB/sec
CPU Usage             : 100.0%

Info tab doesn't say much. Health tab doesn't say anything. Errors aren't my problem.

It made practically no noise when doing the transfer test but made lots of noise doing accesses. Obviously, it's the head making the sound.

There are two Barracuda 7200.7 drives in that stripe.

Try using the AAM function in HD Tune. AAM or Automatic Acoustic Management allows you to reduce the seek noise or to increase the seek performance.
Possible values are between 128 and 254 where 254 gives you the highest performance but also more noise while a value of 128 gives you less noise but lower performance.
To change the AAM settings move the slider and press the Set button.

The effect of the new setting can be tested by pressing the Test button.

Please note that even if your hard disk supports AAM your controller or driver may not support this feature. Good Luck! :toast:

Um, where should I see this? On its own tab? Under Info, I see it checked but I can't do anything on that Info tab.

How older are the drives? How often do you defrag? If you are using NTSF I would suggest once a week for best results.

I don't see any sliders. :(

The drives were purchased June 2005. Yes, I am using NTFS and they were last defragged a few days ago.

hey guys, well i have had a bad weekend!

First of i went to windows 7 only to find my internet dongle is not compatible with the OS, something to do with driver signing i think, so i am off to get a new one, because quite frankly Windows 7 > XP home.

Second i then dropped my laptop and fubared the harddrive, think i have got it going again with an old harddrive from an old laptop but we shall see. Almost lost all of my data but minus 300 songs and two films i got it all which made me happy conisdering.

and then thirdly i went and broke my £40 headphones on a drunken friday night out! hideous weekend but everything is looking up now.

So yea, just to let you know that i haven't forgotten about crunching and it will be back up as soon as i can - will try and get a few other machines around the house going as well.

:laugh::laugh::laugh: I can just picture somebody with RAM framed on their wall :roll:

I can't remember whoi the user was but I'm sure I saw it somewhere on TPU but they had split an old harddrive open and framed it and was sitting on his desk between the pencil holder and his monitor :laugh: I thought that was such a novel idea I went and did it myself with an old 4Gb hd from an old HP P2 I had kickin' around. (Well it's not framed yet)



I was just looking at builds on neweggs and comparing prices, I think another i7 might be added to my collection within the next month :p

Newegg has such good prices. My buddy wanted to buy a new computer because his 5 yr old MDG desktop is shutting down on it's own and the HD whines so I talked to him about the benefits of going custom build and now he's getting almost the same rig as me for about $400 less then I paid!!! :shadedshu

Sorry to hear that!! Glad to hear that it's working out in the end!! I had a bad weekend too...got news from my doctor that I have a condition that forbids me from drinking anymore (liver) so I went out and got smashed for the last time Friday night!! I didn't break any computer parts but I did wake up in front of my apt. door with no keys and a bump on the back of my head!! :laugh:

EDIT: Oh and by the way folks, we just past the top 200 mark yesterday!!! :rockout: http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=bwcg&team=22175

In a nutshell, you're all a bunch of third rate slackers being carried to WCG glory by way of an XS conspiracy. Ummmm... wait that isn't right, I think it was your momma wears fatigues. No no, I can't remember exactly but it's mildly amusing if you like seeing clearly desperate grown men (?) whine. :roll:

guys we really have to step it up, anybody got any spare parts laying around??? Just came across some stuff I really didn't like.

I added another Intel C2D E5200 Wolfdale to the mix. I'm up to 23 TPU crunching machines. :toast: I'll try to add 3 more later today.. nothing major just some Athlon XP's... :rockout:

I've cranked my dual processor Xeon 2.8 with HT up to 100%.. It just laughed at me... Cocky Intel chip... :laugh: But by far my Q6600 is the better cruncher out of my small farm. It's chewing everything up and wanting more... :rockout:
