Question about new WD1000DHTZ

WD Internal Drives Desktop & Mobile Drives

Hello,

I have recently bought this drive [WD1000DHTZ] and I was wondering about something that makes me slightly uneasy.

As I installed the drive, on its first run it was constantly very loud until I shut the PC down. Once I rebooted it went quiet and stayed quiet. A few startups later and it’s still quiet. There are also no problems at all, cloned my disk, everything is a-ok and fast.

Everything is fine right? This is just the disk doing its first time spin-up right?

Thanks!

Hello there,

It sound normal to me.

Phew!

Checked the link given, none of those sound were heard.

The sound was actually more similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20E3RZ0uQIs except it was only during the disk’s first run. Now it’s okay.

Ran error checking and self test and everything seems fine!

Thanks for the help!
