I really don’t like they way my new Samsung F2 sounds. Makes me wary to put a bunch of these in a NAS. Imagine the fun of having an enclose of F2s next to your bed howling like wolves in the night. Turn your volume up …

Posting around, and comparing it to a friend’s Samsung F1 drive, has however suggested that this sound is normal. As is the very similar but shorter whining that occurs while the drive is running. I wonder why I’ve never seen this mentioned in reviews. I know WD has their head parking noise going on, but it can be turned off permanently on most revisions. I sure wish you could shut the F2 up.
