Worse for us is our Dell PERC RAID card in our Poweredge server. It beeps when rebuilding a RAID5 drive


I really, really hope none of the newer ones do that. Most of the raid cards and storage I deal with comes with the mentality that it's going to be locked in a noisy server room with lots of fans, so beeps simply get very hard to track down. It instead comes with a ton of remote managment and alerting tools for free.

Thankfully I have it on good authority the place I am likely to get an IT job is dumping their last 6 Dell servers in favor of a newer Proliant running VMWare to consolidate them all.
