Today hasnt been the greatest of days in general, first off the Mrs rolled my desk chair back and took off the drive bay door from my Corsair 800D, queue lots of swearing, but its ok, it was an accident.
3 hours later, my freshly built file server (which has been running for the past 4 days or so) decides to reboot itself, strange. After it gos through the reboot process, strange whirring noise coming from one of the HDD's, system wont get past POST, wont boot, failed HDD I figure. Disconnect power to that HDD, and power up again, not expecting it to boot, but expecting something, still a whirling noise... but not the same one, second failed HDD? Take that HDD out, power up again, no strange noises... begin the process of reinstall.
Take the two HDD's, connect them to my main PC and get the grindy whirling noise, yeah they're screwed.
I figured at this point it was my two old HDD's that had gone, since the file server was running 6 x 1.5 TB Seagate Barracuda's, two of them were around a year old, and the other 4 were purchased less than a week ago. Strange, its not the two old ones that have gone but two of the new ones? What the heck could cause a pair of HDD's to fail in less than a week? It wasnt heat by the way, HDD's had a pair of 120mm FANS over them and were running pretty cool, any ideas?
