Link causes Hard drives to "Click"

Recommended Posts

CPU - Core i7 3930K

MB - ASUS Rampage IV Extreme

HDDs - 2x 1TB WD1001FALS in RAID0, 2x 750GB WD7500BPKT in RAID0, Standalone Seagate ST32000542AS 750GB

 

the HDDs would click every 15mins or so. It's not the drives themselves because I uninstalled Corsair Link and it doesn't click anymore. Sorta upsetting because I was worried my drives were failing.

what cooler do you have and what firmware were you running?

i thought that firmware was supposed to address this issue,im not sure but there are a couple work arounds such as making a profile and once link is running,use a .batch file to stop sierra from checking the hdd's

ill browse for more info

Let me know if you find anything, I'll look around myself also.

this is how one user gets by it

 

Install the CorsairLink 2 software, set the fans and whatever you need to, stop Sierra2Service, set service to manual. If you need to adjust the fans restart the service. Stopping Sierra2Service will stop the problem with the HDD.

 

Repeat as needed,start and stop if changes are needed

This is a Link 2.2.0 problem, not a h100i firmware problem.

It should be addressed on the next version.

2.5.5145 doesn't use the Sierra service so it's 100% not that. Check you haven't got logging enabled, that may cause the drives to spin up again if they get parked for whatever reason.

 

Reasoning: anything that accesses a drives SMART data will spin up a parked drive.
