Agreed, though in my case not because of noise, but just because the
test takes fourteen hours and noticeably degrades disk performance while
it runs. I'm doing a long self-test monthly and frankly I'm wondering if
every three months is sufficient.
well, that machine has not lost a single drive, a clone of it acting
as homeserver 365/24/7 has lost a dozen in the same time....
A *dozen*?! In six years? Even with a big array you've been incredibly
unlucky, or you have young children and a corresponding disaster rate.
(Meanwhile, my last machine, with much-maligned WD GreenPower
variable-spin-rate disks, was completely happy for eight years, zero
failures, zero reallocations that I can see. I can only hope my new lot
are that good.)
RAID10, 4x2 TB, a rrom temperature of 28 degreee 12 months a year and
214 TB only written - i doubt to be unlucky with that workloads
