Hello everybody,
I would like to understand if it is normal or not.
When I turn off the computer I noticed that it doesn't turn off all at once but first it seems that the fan (the main one?) Is disconnected, then the network card (I see it on the monitor: the card is put in the down state) and finally the LED power goes off at the same time as a strange noise which I think is the hard disk.
I obviously worried about the hard disk noise thinking it could be a mechanical problem or that in the future it could become. Mine is a 1TB Seagate mechanical hard drive. With Windows this noise is not heard and even the shutdown is different because it is total and immediate, not step by step as it seems to me to happen with Freebsd.
I'd like to understand it all better and know if I can feel comfortable about my hard drive.
Thank you all.
