Utility to avoid HD clicking sound?
Hello
My PC comes with a Seagate hard-disk that makes the annoying clicking sound due to Seagate using "Seek To Improve Reliability" (STIR). To avoid this, I just run eMule at all times so as to keep the hard-disk busy, but there are times (VoIP, VNC, etc.) when I need to have the full bandwith to myself, and closing/restarting eMule is annoying. Before I write one myself, does someone know of a little application for Windows that would access the hard-disk often enough to effectively cancel STIR? Thank you. |

Hello My PC comes with a Seagate hard-disk that makes the annoying clicking sound due to Seagate using "Seek To Improve Reliability" (STIR). Elvish wisdom for today: Go not to Usenet participants for advice, for they will say "yes" and "no" and "try another newsgroup". As the hummerhorns flit lightly above the Lake of Rhun, comp.arch.storage provides the last homely haven for those who seek counsel regarding enterprise RAID arrays. -- Ed |
