Hi All, The other day I bought 2 brand new SCSI drives from Computer Geeks off ebay. The drives were so cheap, I couldn’t resist. I got what I paid for.
Both new drives make a squeaky sound, sort of like a squeaky wheel. It’s consistent, happens every 35 seconds or so. I know this isn’t a good thing, but does it mean imminent drive failure or is it just a nuisance sound? I hate to RMA them, shipping will cost as much as the drives. Just looking for opinions from the forum. I’ve had drive make a lot of clicking sounds but never a squeak.
