Sorry if this is a little off topic, but I'm experiencing a concerning noise coming from my new build and would appreciate any of your help.
There's this strange almost knocking sound coming from either my HDD array or my SSD's. I know the SSD's have no moving parts but when I have iStat menus open and hear the sound, suddenly theres a random spike on those two SSD's showing read and write activity. So far that's the only correlation I've found. I have posted an audio recording of this sound on my dropbox if somebody can just help me figure out what they think it may be coming from. It happens every two minutes or so, and I'm starting to get a little worried
Ignore the fan noise, mic was right next to them

Setup is as follows:
GA-Z77X-UP5 TH
i7 3770k
Corsair Vengeance 16GB
EVGA GeForce GTX680
2x 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD's -- Software RAID 0 -- boot drive
4x 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM (ST2000DM001) -- Software RAID 0 8tb -- media storage
