Walked into a server room full of screaming drives and almost walked back out
Last Tuesday I had to replace a failed RAID drive for a client in downtown Phoenix, but when I opened the rack the other three drives were clicking so loud I could hear them through the noise-cancelling cans. I hung around and listened for 15 minutes, which convinced me to run a full array backup before touching anything. Has anyone else had a bad feeling save them from a bigger disaster?

Yeah that clicking sound is the drives begging you to back them up before they die.

Wait, drives actually beg? That's kind of dark.
