Something that the Supermicro support told me just came back into my mind 
and worries me: With the Norco RPC-4220 case I should use Enterprise 
grade disks.

Here's what they wrote:

But since I replaced all the ventilators with quiet ones that are mounted 
with some kind of rubber sticks instead of screws there shouldn't be much 
vibration. Or are the vibrating disks a problem?

Can I somehow observe how healthy they still are? Maybe with smartctl or 
something similar?

Thanks again for all the information!
