Don't scream at your hard drives


Recommended Posts

I am surprised this is news to anyone. While the video may be fun, the actual data includes the performance loss after fan failure. The typical response of a server from the big box suppliers is to run all remaining fans at max. Like screaming this can extend seeks times, unlike screaming it can last for days.

 

Even the solution is years old https://www.geek.com/chips/noctua-creates-worlds-first-cpu-cooler-with-active-noise-cancellation-1559029/

But remains unshipped https://smallformfactor.net/news/noctua-computex-2017

 

There was also a DIY project done by/at a university, but I can not find the link just now. It was basically the parts from ANC headset broken out and placed in the computer case. It helped, some.

 

The drive manufacturers have also advanced their products with this data.
