Storage drives humming

[millman65]

Hello all
I have a Dell 8940 xps with a 11th gen I7 processor. I have 2 16tb seagate ironwolf drive's. I installed Proxmox VE 8.1 and the 2 16tb drive's are humming now.
any thought's.
PS I install proxmox on a mvme drive

Maybe the humming is just because of the disk activity? PVE is polling them every few seconds. Or does it sound differnetly with another OS accessing it?

Is there a way to stop that?

Is there a way to stop that?

Close the door of the server room? Maybe check this thread: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/hdd-never-spin-down.53522/#post-247154
