First off, if you just bought a used HDD, did you DBAN it at least?  If not,you'd better make sure to do that.

Some yes, some no

We don't know what you consider loud nor the age/make of the hdd. An older toshiba may sounds like a 747 and be fine but a year old WD black should be fairly quiet.

It is a WD black, it is okay for normal used. However,when I boot my computer it make some noise. (did not sound like a 747). How quite should be a one year old WD black sound like( The HD tune show this disk have been use for 320day)

I suspect damage then, if its under a year old and a higher end hdd it shouldn't be very loud. You can try a disk health tool and take you chances but i wouldn't.

Why? Theres not a reason to use that intensive of a program, if your worried about viruses any normal wipe program will work and be much faster and easier, otherwise its a firmware virus which DBAN doesnt mess with.
