QUOTE(siauann @ May 29 2017, 12:09 PM) what hdd do u guys recommend? recently the WD hdd quality seems to be getting worst. is seagate good? Yeah, what do u guys recommend for HDDs? Is WD purple a good choice compare to WD blue and green? Thinking of trying out other brands. I regret myself for not buying samsung HDDs when they're available. Both of mine Samsung HDDs still alive and kicking for almost 9 years already. |

Hi, I just got my WD black 2TB from RMA. After I'm using it I heard random grinding sound. Then when I want to shut down my PC the I heard that grinding sound again and it happened on regular basis. Is that normal or should I RMA it again?
I have checked via crystaldisk and checkdisk and there is no problems. Currently testing using WD lifeguard diagnostics. |

QUOTE(1024kbps @ Jan 16 2019, 01:58 AM) it's a high speed hdd so some grinding noise is expected, that's because of the actuator moving at very high speed. Good to know its normal. Kind of regret RMAed the previous one because its most likely got nothing wrong with it New HDD already pretty quite. I had some old Caviar black HDD which sold off, the high pitch motor noise would drive people insane lol.  |
