I have a Western Digital Black 6TB HDD with the model WD6002FZWX. It's been running for a few months now, and my God, does it make so much noise when it's being used, to the point that part of the case slightly vibrates. It's the largest storage that I have owned on a hard drive. Upon running WD's Data Lifeguard (quick test), the hard drive made so much noise and vibrations (in the whole case) during seek/write.
Is it normal for a 6TB hard drive to make a lot more acoustics than smaller capacity hard drives? My other 2TB HDD in my system is much more silent (WD Blue). I've been closely monitoring the SMART status, and it's been healthy so far. Will there be huge problems that this drive may face in the future if this maintains? Is there anything that I should be worried about?
I am not just going to get this RMA'd unless I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO.
