[yamazakk123]

Hi , i recently bought a new PC

everytime i access the Local Disk D (Caviar Green) either just accessing , watching video, or playing games from that drive

the HDD make sounds like this

0:08 - 0:21

 

and after 5 - 10 seconds i stop playing games , watching video , accessing , the WD become quiet 

Is this the normal sound ? or is it defective ?

I don't hear any sounds.......did you mute the video on accident ?

I couldn't really here anything.... But mechanical hard drives make noise

The more accessing that's going on, the more "clicking" you will hear.

 

Am I the only one who heard sound? Worked fine for me.

I listened to the video again. I'm hearing audio. In fact, the same audio.

The sound is working for me , but it is a little low

when i on my PC , i have to use my headset and turn the volume up on the settings to hear the video haha

Is your PC volume setting low ? 

because i have to turn my volume setting at 60 ish using headset to hear it

I hear the audio too. When my HDD (WD Black) is on heavy load it has the same noise, so I think it's okay.

its fine as long as it isn't making loud clicks and what not it sounds fine.....sounds like normal operation

Hard drives naturally make clicking noises when there's activity.

Is your WD noise exactly like this ? (i think mine is like this too , but quieter)

But when i close my PC Case, there's a little noise like the video + there's a tump noise too when i try to access the drive or playing

the analogy is like , when person A kick a wall , and the person B can hear it from the other side of the wall

its fine as long as it isn't making loud clicks and what not it sounds fine.....sounds like normal operation

So i shouldnt return this ?

the sound is normal ?

and after i acces the drive , and close it , the WD is going off after 8 second 

is that okay?

Thank you , 

so my WD is alright ?

Yes it's perfectly fine. If it wasn't making those noises I'd be more concerned.

I can hear the sound. My western digital green drive did this to me. 

 

It has died like 2-3 weeks ago, Not saying that your drive is going to die or anything but mine had done it since I got it really.

I don't think there's a way to fix it either

Well at least it's new so you shouldn't have it break on you haha.

How long have you gotten it ? 

so the first day it's already sound like this ? 

because a lot of people saying that it's a normal sound ?
