Clicking sound on HDD

Recommended Posts

Hello
I vaguely remember that somehow it is possible to make an HDD sound a clicking noise for identification.
I have an 18 HDD unraid server and need to replace a specific drive.
As time went by the ID stickers I put on the sides just were blew off.
How can I identify that specific drive without making a mess of my installation?

Thank you

Clicking HDD = impending doom

 

Stop docker and VM services in settings.  Stop everyone from accessing the system.  Spindown all drives from Main except for the one you want.  The one still spinning (you should be able to tell via touch) is the one you want.
