You might not notice a drive being a tiny bit louder/hotter, but you might notice if you've got an entire NAS rack full of 'em. Don't shout at your JBODs: htt

- ars 6y agoI've always been told that drives in the same enclosure should all spin at the same RPM. Exactly because of the issue in that video: if there are different RPMs they shake each other and cause problems. I've never actually tested if this is true, but I've always made sure to honor it. If in fact it is true, that this lie by Western digital is even worse.
