Ive tried everything to solve this some 30-40 hours on the topic. Surely cannot be right. First 1/4 of the drive during random or small read/write sounds so loud and chunky it eclipse anything else in the room, let alone in the case.
Both of them, I bought a pair. Model 00Y9A0.
To end with after another all niter trying to sort this out hunting on net and trying things its 8am and I end with this…
Starting to wish I never came back to western digital (!) After many 80GB WD Black die going back quite a few years now, this was my first outing back with them. Not worth all my [Deleted] time.
How loud? Too loud to be useabl, thats how loud. And no I dont have a quiet system, its actually pretty [Deleted] loud atm too loud to hear a peep from my samsung F3. I shudda binned them at the start soon as heard the racket. 40hrs wasted and still not solved, cudda earnt a weeks wages bought bloody 10 samsungs and pocketd a few hundred bucks still.
BTW no nothing reports error, otherwise I could RMA them.
By all means suggest a solution/fix, chances are Ive tried it already.
Dont you fnd it odd some ppl say their drive is quiet, others that its loud. Why cant they make/test/validate product so we all actually buy the same [Deleted] thing when its the same model? Ridiculous.
All hard drive makers need get the [Deleted] together imo.
