    I've had 2 WD Reds in my lifetime and each of those had 1 mechanical start failure, another 18tb easystore that had 0 (honestly what I expect to see on a $200+ drive), 2 12 tb easystores that had 0 and an 8tb easystore that also had 0. 1 mechanical start failure kinda makes sense because of the...

    Why did my brand new WD Red 16TB just start making this noise today? I ran two self tests an hour or two before it started making these noises on it's own. It did it 3 times in about an hour. See link with attached audio file below: https://sndup.net/qhhz/
