Hi, I recently purchased two WD Red 3TB NAS drives. I have them in a Raid 1 setup within a Synology DS218+. I am fairly happy with the performance of the drives. However, I am not at all happy with the noise the drives make on writes. I am quiet surprised by my experience because most people referenced it as a quite drive and I can hear the rights from several rooms away.
This seems abnormal to me. I can’t remember ever having a platter based drive this loud before.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to reduce the noise level? Or is it possible that this is a hardware issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
