I bought a hard drive a few months back, I believe it's the WD4003FZEX. It was making some grinding and thumping noises very often so I did an RMA and sent it back. The new drive makes similar grinding/clicking noises on startup and when data is being accessed. I did some research on it and from what I can tell drives are supposed to make clicking noises when data is being accessed, am I just being paranoid or should I do another RMA? The clicking is most noticeable when I open a program like 3DS Max or start a game from Steam but it's quite loud. Also, I haven't had any performance issues so far
Specs:
i7 4790k
Geforce GTX 970
4TB main drive (the one in question) 1TB drive and 120 GB SSD boot drive
1100w PSU (I know I went overboard)
Asus Z97 Pro Motherboard
8GB Ram
I don't think it's the 1TB drive because that's from an old computer and I never had issues with it
