Seeing as I guess most people here have plenty of experience with dead
drives ...
My 8TB N300 arrived a couple of days ago. I've just tried to add it into
my system, and ...
When I powered up the system I heard a "clackety clackety clack" noise.
The system hung on boot, didn't get as far as grub.
I could hear a steady repeated "boom chacka boom chacka ..." coming from
the new drive.
I'm guessing the drive is dead and it's an RMA? I've never heard sounds
like that from a drive before ...
Cheers,
Wol
