Nucleus - replace the internal storage

[Geoff_Coupe]

I suspect that you are confusing the noise of an HDD with coil whine, which apparently affects a very small number of the motherboards used in the Nucleus - see this thread:

Noise from a Nucleus rev B

Hi Guys, I have a Nucleus acting as roon server with only the power cable and the ethernet cable attached to it. Then, i use an Esoteric Streaming dac to play Tidal streaming exclusively. I am finding strange that from my couch i can hear the Nucleus making a noise i usually relate to writing to an old HDD. I even opened the Nucleus to confirm there is no HDD inside…and its not. Is this normal? Where this writing noise comes from? Thanks for your help
