I am replacing my 3TB reds with 5TB Toshibas. I noticed last night that my Toshiba is making a disk access 'sound' every few seconds. It doesn't make this sound if I'm in the BIOS or while it's loading up FreeNAS. As soon as it mounts the drives, it starts to do this. The drive is louder than the WDs and is reminiscent of how old drives can be heard much more easily when the disk is being accessed. Is it normal for the drive to be accessed every few seconds, if this is what the noise is about?
SMART looks good, nothing strange at all, fyi.
