Hi all,
I have 4x Western Digital Gold 6 TB (WD6002FRYZ) which are new for my NAS, and their idle tapping and chunking sound is driving me crazy. Besides the idle sounds, they are also extremely noisy when actually R/W. Please see my thread, which I believe is pretty much the same issue discussed as in this thread: Recurring "clucking sound" every 5 seconds (Western Digital Gold) - #5
Now, I have considered returning these drives to the retailer, and thought of getting HGST DeskStar 6TB “v2” drives. I have the HGST DeskStar 4TB drives since 2015, and have been pleased with them. However, as Western Digital drives nowadays seem to be based on HGST technology, would I in fact be getting the same noise with the “v2” 2018 DeskStar drives?
