Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C Humming

[ati]

hello everyone

i have recently got two of these Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C disks

they are quite and quick but i have noticed a slight humming noise bit like the tardis (dr who).

anyone had any similar issues and any solution found for this?

thanks

Are both hard discs mounted on the same machine?

helloo

ya

there are 4 all together

2 sam p120s
1 seagate 7200.8
1 j250 wd

Well I doubt this will help much but multiple drives can create a humming by their vibration frequency.

Have you tried just one samsung drive with the seagate and wd?
If the noise is gone then you should try soft mounting the samsungs and mount them as far away as possible from each other to reduce the noise (perferably not on the same structure).

no i havent

the noise only became apparent really after heavy usage and wehn they were installed

i'll give that a try

thanks
