Can you guys help me out with this one? What I don't fucking understand is, it produces the noise randomly, I could pretty much put it in heavy load by transferring a few teras but produces absolutely no noise, even if it's in idle it'll start to produce that ear wrenching noise. I've tried some programs online and it doesn't produce the stupid fucking noise, and APM control is also disabled on the drive. You guys have any experience with this? I don't mind RMAing but seems like a fucking hassle on a brand new drive. It's a WD Blue, they didn't have HGST on stock at the time.

>inb4 WD is garbage

It's dying. Back up your data and claim warranty on it.

There's this thing called luck and not every hard drive is exactly the same.

Fuck, I kinda expected things going this way, the HDD states it was mfg on October 2016, but never expected it to fail so easily, SMART indicates it's all good and even rates/counts are not the bad. Fuck WD, from now on I'm only going to purchase Hitachi.

No, HGST is owned by Seagate

>Parent Organization: Western Digital

As much as I'd like that to be true so the increase in Seagate reliability can be explained, HGST is a Western Digital company, and their own promotional materials state such.

I'll bet your so-called "new" unit was actually refurbished.

>Googling the issue
because google is ALWAYS right
I think it might be some WD mechanism that reduces vibrations or something like that, have heard others complain about the same sound too
