I just bought a WD Black 1TB, installed and formatted it already. The hard disk is vibrating quite strongly, I can feel the vibration when I put my hand on my casing, is it normal?

Slight vibration, then yes. Not really strong vibration though.

Are you using screws to hold your HDD and not those filmsy and useless tooless brackets?

I'm using brackets since my CM690 only has them? sweat.gif It only vibrates strongly at certain times though, and I can feel the heat when I put my hand on the casing near the HDD part when it vibrates strongly.

I'm new to HDD.. Pardon me for some silly questions.. Is it normal for a 1TB hdd magnetic when i plug sata cable and the power cable? (external but w/o casing).. And, after i plug, my windows can detect the driver but i can't see the driver inside "my computer".. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?

You have to restart in order for your PC to detect eSATA if I'm not wrong, it works that way for my WD My Book anyway. If it still doesn't detect your HD after you've restarted, you can go Device Manager and scan for hardware changes.

Which is the best software to monitor HDD temperature? Using WD Black and WD Green here.

And is it better to put OS (which will be the primary harddisk) in my 1TB Black or 500GB Green?

As for the secondary harddisk, I will store mostly .exe files, videos, pictures, musics. Downloaded files will also be saved directly into the secondary harddisk. So which harddisk is better to be used as the secondary harddisk?

if for me i'll use the black as the OS disk, and then the green as storage disk. coz you mentioned that you're just gonna store files inside.

Alright.

Hmm, is there one that can show temperature at the taskbar and also temperature ingame? Doesn't matter if it's freeware or pay to use.

What's the most reliable and accurate software to benchmark Internal/External harddisk read/write speed?
