I've just bought a new 1TB 7200rpm 3.5" WD Black and put in a new fantec vented box and connected to my notebook via usb 2.0.
It's the first time I've got a 3.5" hdd so honestly I don't know if the sound/noise I hear is normal or not so let me know. It happens only when the hdd switches off and it's a screeching sound for me.
I recorded it and you can listen to it here. It's a 8" wave track and you can listen this particular sound at 2". Quick scans by both official WD sw (Data Lifeguard Diagnostic) and hdtune say there're no bad blocks and Crystaldiskinfo says "good".
Is it normal?
