Raid Noise

[grayhat]

I am getting a very high pitched, high frequency noise when ever my hard disk accesses. Last week I put in a new motherboard, could this be the RAID controller built into the motherboard or the hard disk itself?

you can try to put a screwdriver on the harddisk and the other end on your ear. Than you can hear where it comes from. Actually it is not easy to understand what you hear as the housing of the computer transfers the sound everywhere so it needs experience......

There is nothing mechanical in a RAID controller. Run manufacturer's diagnostic software on the hard drive.
