Is it possible that you aren't using rubber isolation mounts? Is it an operating system drive or a swap drive? Mine are all whisper quiet and mounted in plastic cages with rubber isolators for large file storage. If a drive is hard mounted to metal and constantly seeks, it will be noisy.
Hello, the issue stems from the BIOS as well as the hard disk manufacturer. Try updating your bios and/or visiting Dell's website to download a specific fix from the support section.
Yes, my Synology NAS has 12 10TB of these.
That is a legal question, and the answer will vary depending on your location. You should speak with Western Digital directly about this. Also, a word of caution: Some Amazon sellers sell OEM drives that aren't covered by the Western Digital warranty. This is the third time it has happened to me. In each case, Amazon assisted me in replacing the drive with one that was still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. As soon as I get a new drive, I make it a habit to register it with Western Digital. That way, I can be certain it's still covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

I paid $900 for two hard drives, which were packaged in flimsy thin air pad envelopes. The connector leads on one drive are bent, while the other drive worked and formatted fine, but the banging it took to get to me makes me very nervous. The drives and manufacturing are unquestionably WD gold standard, but SMH wonders who would stuff such incredible gear into a flimsy envelope and send it down the road. I'm returning both of them. Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,.
5400rpm drives are frequently sold as WD Gold, according to other reviews. br>I didn't think I'd have such bad luck, but alas.
This drive came with a five-year warranty when I bought it new. I got it in a flash and immediately registered. Only a 34-day warranty was offered by Western Digital. I went back and forth with the live chat on WD's service site for almost a month before I finally found out why it wasn't given the five-year warranty: In WD's own words: "Serial number WMC6N0L8XADY is a replacement product for another customer, and it is not eligible for warranty update, according to our records. " "br>I'm going to return it and get a refund. " Thank you, Amazon, for your service; however, thank you, Viixim, for selling it as new when it clearly isn't.
I'm on my sixth WD Gold hard drive, and I absolutely adore them. There are dozens of hard drives in my collection. Hard drive failure is something I've experienced firsthand. It's a pain, even with backups. Because WD Gold drives are the most reliable drives on the market, this is unlikely to happen. I strongly advise ALL users to purchase these enterprise-class drives and to stay away from so-called "second-class" drives. Consumer drives are a type of marketing campaign. Because they have by far the best MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) figures on the market today, these will most likely serve you with much less trouble. The extra money is well worth it. br>br>In addition, this drive is very quiet. Unlike my WD Black drives, which are extremely HOT to the touch, these Gold drives run very cool even when being written too 100% of the time. I dumped nearly 9TB onto this drive in one fell swoop, and the drive never got above 100°F, running at 95°F under normal heavy use and around 90°F at idle. This is done in a room with a constant temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. br>br>In the last ten years, I've used at least a hundred drives. The first enterprise-class drives I purchased ten years ago, which spin at 10,000rpm, have been running 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the past ten years and are still going strong. The MTBF is 2 on these WD Gold drives. Those early drives were 5 times higher. Reliability is very important to me. br>br>ADDED Nov 9, 2020br>It's important to note that you should buy a retail drive rather than an OEM drive. OEM drives are typically less expensive, but getting support if you have a problem is entirely dependent on the seller's willingness to replace a defective drive. To ensure you get a retail drive on Amazon, make sure the "seller" or "Sold by" and "shipped by" are both "Amazon. ".
I tried everything I could think of to get LINUX to recognize GRUB as the operating system's bootloader. There has been no luck, or the drive is incompatible with LINUX. The drive itself is fine as a slave, but when you expect it to run as a master for LINUX, it fails to provide the boot information required to start the operating system. br>I tried DEBIAN LINUX the original, as well as LINUX MINT (based on UBUNTU). br>I attempted to install LINUX MINT several times without success, including the GRUB installation. Nothing happens when you reboot! br>The boot sector, along with any data written to it, disappears into the digital void of HDD space. br>Some Grub code was written to the drive, but it's useless because it throws an error saying "attempt to read or write outside of disk hd0. " As far as I'm concerned, all data during the installation had to go to this one and only drive. Why are you attempting to read or write outside of the drive? Is it an air bubble or is it something else? br>I ended up taking a 500GB drive from another computer that was acting as a slave and installed LINUX MINT without any issues. The 1TB GOLD ended up being used as storage in the previous computer. br>It appears to me that some OS vendors are paying hardware vendors to make getting their hardware to work with LINUX extremely difficult. br>Depressing, depressing, almost as depressing as the White House.
That is exactly what Western Digital has done to me. I purchased a 10TB Western Digital hard drive, only to discover that it is actually a 1TB drive, despite the fact that it was clearly labeled as such. The model number is correct. Windows recognizes the model but informs me that it is 1100 GB, which is incorrect. 1 TB. NOT 10TB. Is it straightforward to resolve? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no There has been no reply. Only "please accept our sincere apologies. " "We would like to assist. " I have one pound of potatoes left in a ten-pound bag after one week. I'm so disappointed in a company that used to be good. In today's market, I would not recommend a Western Digital product. Bye-bye, my Seagate 2TB hard drive. br>br>UPDATE NO. 3 WD has confirmed that their 10-terabyte drive is actually a 1-terabyte drive. "They'll look into it," they say. I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M READYING TO SAY. If you're looking for a good deal, keep in mind that caveat empt My advice as an engineer is to avoid purchasing a WD hard drive.
