Ask HN: Which hard drives do not emit the dreaded "thermal click"?
It seems that nearly all hard disk manufacturers have added a curious "feature" to their product - periodic thermal recalibration, which emits an annoying "click" or "beep" every two or three minutes. If you run a handful of such disks simultaneously, the racket is maddening (modern drives can't be spindle-sync'd, AFAIK.)
Does anyone here know of even one brand of reasonably large (>= 500GB) mechanical hard disk which does not suffer from this problem?
