bad hdd?

[Cyred]

Got my 2 new hdd today (seagate barracuda 1tb) and while transfering some files, one of them did some strange noises and it makes a loud sound when it starts and stops spinning, also did a benchmark..

 

 

This is the "bad" one

 

And this is the "good" one

 

Is there anything I can do? Should I RMA it?

An RMA is your best bet.

Those speeds are fine for a HDD..

Mine are loud, too. Doesn't mean much tbh

EDIT: Actually, how loud and how would you describe this "sound"?

But the huge difference in the r/w speed is weird, they're the exact same hard drives.. 

Well while it's doing something it sounds like something is scratching it, while it start/stops it makes a sound like 2 sword hitting together (okay not that loud but the sound is somehow the same)  :huh:  :lol:  :lol:

Yea RMA it for sure. Something is broken inside.

sounds like bad tolerances during manufacturing RMA it or it will eventually wear out
