I just finished the process of adding 8 new Seagate Exos 20TB drives to my TrueNAS core system. This question has been asked a lot and it's known seagate drives are loader then most durring operation. Though i could not find anything related to a consistent "shudder" through all my new Exos drives. I have attached a audio clip in the link below. Have any of you come across this specific sound before.

The drives are in a Fractal Design 7 XL case with rubber bumpers in all trays. The case hold 9 WD Red's 12TB, and 8 Segate Exos 20TB. All 17 drives are connected to a SAS 9305-24i in IT mode. Running TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5.3

Hi thanks for the reply, doing a extended smart test in TrueNAS now for all the hr disks.

The shudder is coming from all the Seagate drivers instantaneously as if they are cycling or something. Going to check if the noise stops once the system goes ideal after the smart test.

Any chance you can point me to how I could check regarding a firmware upgrade, I assume I would need to pull each drive and upgrade, or could I do this within TrueNAS.

I know this is way late but could it be a power supply issue? Did you ever figure it?
