March 20, 20188 yr Newb here with a problem though I am not exactly sure what the issue is. Tonight i started playing a media file from my unraid box and i noticed a weird sound coming from array. Please note that is not something like a dell or some other server grade hardware I am running. Its a AMD A series processor, 8 gb of ram and 4 segate 2TB drives. After looking at the system logs and information on the drive that is running a high temp I found the following things. I am hoping that someone can help me decipher what is going on. Cable issues, PSU, failing drive? I am not really sure Smarctl report https://pastebin.com/jKcxsNfn Syslog https://pastebin.com/nwKkadgP Thanks for any assistance.

March 20, 20188 yr Please go to Tools - Diagnostics and post the complete diagnostics zip. The diagnostics zip contains syslog, SMART for all disks, and many other things to help us make sense of your situation. We wish everyone would always attach the complete diagnostics zip directly to their post. While I wait on that, the most obvious thing that comes to mind is a problem with fans. Fans are the most likely cause of noise in a computer, and of course, also a cause of high temperatures.
March 20, 20188 yr Author I have posted the diagnostics. I have also posted an audio file containing the noise I am hearing. It will be just around the 11-13 second mark Edited March 20, 20188 yr by averagecdn
March 20, 20188 yr Don't know what noise you are hearing, but my frequency range isn't what it used to be. Sounds normal to me. I also don't see any hot disks in your diagnostics. It looks like you are having connection problems with one or more disks. Check connections and try again. Cables should be loose enough so no strain is put on the connection and the connector can sit squarely on the connection.
