My question is cause i did scare myself recently when i decided to carefully move my Qnap TS-233 with WD red plus 12TB on the shelf. I did hear a cracking sound or something like that. I cannot describe it too good cause my hearth was stuck in my throat at that moment and i was full panic mode. I was careful and looking to not bump the device anywhere... the price of that HDD is not a small amount of money for me. There is a possibility that the sound is from the cables sliding behind the shelf. I did check the SMART status afterward and it is clean but to put it simply do i really need to be that scared of even touching that thing when is powered on?
