Can't help you on the NCR driver, but I think this noise is normal for
the Atlas. At least the one I had here made this kind of a noise, every
time an update flush ran (I used this drive for a month at home under
Linux) That same drive is still going strong at work as our main news
drive 6 months later, so I don't think the noise is a sign of imminent
failure.
