YontJust set up my new #WesternDigital 20TB #HDD. I have it serving as the primary media storage so it's going to be always on. Only thing is - it's not quiet. Usually making this intermittent clicking noise. My last drive was a totally quiet 5TB Seagate HDD and never heard anything like this. Anybody know what this noise might be? #DataHoarder #StrangeNoises
Arfman@whylamb did they reduce soundproofing to fit in more platters?
@arfman possibly. I have never had a drive this big before, and I haven't used a proper 3.5 inch mechanical for ages. This might just be the way that they are these days but I'm always worried.
