Hi All,
Not sure if any one else has come across this, but I have recently had to replace a couple of my drives (WD Reds) so I purchased new 8TB drives (also WD red).
The problem I am having is these new drives "WD80EFAX-68KNBN0" run hotter and a lot nosier than their 8TB "WD80EFAX-68LHPN0"counterparts. They are so loud I can hear the hum of the new drives across the (small) room where as the old ones were pretty much silent.
I have run a couple of drive checkers and the drives are reported as fine, and the hum is a rotational noise rather than the grind of bearings.
Has anybody come across this issue with these drives please?
