G-RAID2 1.5TB odd noise on start-up
by Edward Koehler on Oct 30, 2009 at 2:48:06 pm

My G-Raid2 drive arrived new with a loud fan, and G-Tech replaced the fan for me back in April with no problems. Excellent service and fast turn around. Gene Gilbert helped me out on here with that.
Now the fan has gotten louder again (perhaps from dust) and I'm getting a loud and worrisome noise from my G-Raid2 on start-up. It's as the fan motor tries to spin up to speed and then seems to just spin wildly for a second, stops, then tries to spin up to speed again and spins wildly, stops, etc. It doesn't always happen, but when it occurs it spins wildly for three to about 12 times in a row before mounting.
Is this motor noise originating from the fan, or is it in anyway indicative of an impending failure?
I'm in the middle of an important project and I'll spring for another drive for back-up if that is the case.
Look forward to your reply.
