Hello guys,
I have a problem. Recently i have bought 2 x ST1000DM003 drives to make raid 0 array . everything was fine exept the drives after 3 mins of idling made chirping noise and after that when i opened up a folder or file which was on the array they chirped again and i had 1-2 second delay in accesing files. I believe it was "head parking" . I ve read that those drives had this issue and i ve updated to the newest firmware . Still no go. So i wrote to seagate and they proposed a change to ST1000NM0011 drives. I ve changed them but there is still the same issue. Both Constellation drives "park" their heads too. I want to add that i have all energy saveing disabled, i ve updated to SN03 firmware which was sent to me by seagate and stil lthe same issue. This is so frustrating... What can cause such behaviour ? All energy saveing options and "turn off hard drive" option are disabled... I really have no clue what can cause this . Maybe someone here has any idea ? I have ASUS Rampage IV Extreme mobo. This seems to be the same issue as in those topics : http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Barracuda-XT-Barracuda-Barracuda/2TB-ST2000DM001-3TB-STBD3000100-Barrac... , http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Barracuda-XT-Barracuda-Barracuda/3TB-Barracuda-STBD3000100-Making-Weird... ,http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Barracuda-XT-Barracuda-Barracuda/ANNOUNCEMENT-New-firmware-update-for-B...
I am really frustraded . PLEASE someone help ... I really dont want to drop Seagate for WD as i am a long term customer....
EDIT: I ve just entered BIOS and left like that idling for 5 minutes and those drives did the same thing. I am pretty sure its the head parking thing. Imo this is compeltely useless and i dont know idf its possible to fix...
