March 23Mar 23 I have two drives: One seagate Ironwolf Pro and one WD Red Pro. I've noticed recently that after booting up my system (or spinning up my drives), the seagate drive makes a loud woodpecker-like noise for a second, then goes back to sounding normal. This hadn't been happening for a while and has only started following a rebuild when another seagate drive failed (details here). Considering both drives are from the same batch and one of the two seagate drives already failed, I'm concerned that this second one might also be failing. The RMA replacement for the previous failed Seagate drive doesn't make that sound either.Should this be a cause for concern? Diagnostics and audio both attached (noise at ~10 seconds)Seagate startup sound.mp4babel-diagnostics-20260323-1632.zip Edited March 23Mar 23 by Wazzy
