WD Black

My recently purchased WD Black appears to run hot at around 58 to 59 degrees whereas my WD Green runs at 43 to 44 degrees and appears fine.

The green drive came with my PC and the black drive was new around 3 months ago. It also appears to be rather noisy, it makes a number of clicking noises reguarly.

Do I have an issue here?

Hi what model do you have? Depending on the model the operating temperature can be from 5 to 55 °C or 5 to 60 °C.
