drive beat frequency in RAID setup, anything to worry about?
Hi all,
I have recently installed 2 new drives to create a RAID 0 setup. Since
doing so I hear this "throbbing" sound and am pretty sure its caused by
the two drives spinning at slightly different speeds creating a beat
frequency... (correct me if I am wrong)
I have moved the disks about the case a little but all that does is
change the sound a little, it does not go away...
I can live with the noise (I think) since I have music on anyway most
of the time! However, can this throbbing sound cause any problems for
my disks? I *think* drives can take a fair bit of vibration but I
wanted some other opinions :-)
cheers :-D
