Newbie here.
I bought my first Synology NAS, DS220+ and set it up with 2 8TB Seagate IronWolf drives.
Fan is in quiet mode, HDD hibernation set for 15min, Advanced HDD hibernation to minimize power consumption enabled.
Ran IronWolf Tests on both drives and they are normal.
I didn't create any shared volumes as I am still checking it.
When NAS is idle (not accessed for a while), I see the Disk LED indicators are off telling me that HDs are in hibernation. However I hear a very low periodic noise. It is not loud but can be heard when there is no other noise; NAS is under my desk. I can't figure out if it is the fan or drives or issue with my NAS. Do you hear this with your systems? I have audio clips but not sure how to share them.
BTW my old Dlink NAS is still operational and literally shuts down (i.e. fan stops running unless in summer when it gets hot) when there is no activity; it is completely quiet.
