First stop cron, and check if you still get the noise. If the noise
stops then check what runs from cron (tail /var/log/syslog). If your
scsi drive makes a noise every minute, on the minute (or on some
interval of time divisible by 60 seconds) then it is probably a cron
script.
Then run pstree and see what's running. Kill the process off one by
one until the noise stops. When the noise stops then the last thing
you killed is your suspect.
