Yes its normal.These helium drives are loud as hell when the seek,including WD drives.

Looks like a lot of fun! Maybe some time I could join in!

its alive haha

This is why I'm switching to WD disks from now on.

Absolutely normal.. these are Seagate Exos (enterprise LINE) disks.. they work like this

Most of these Seagate drives will contain a 2x14 Exos with MACH.2 technology. The loud drive noise is typical.

That's normal, the surface you put it on may amplify the sound though, try put a book or something under it see if it changes.

I too hear this from my large drives. Had a couple years for some and they haven't failed. Think it's normal

14 TB HDD?! Please tell me you misspelled, i don't believe ya

All Seagate drives sound like they are broken. Very sharp clicking even in idle

I believe this is way normal nowadays because there are more platters which means more heads. More heads = more mass to move which makes the motors much louder.

I have the same problem

I have a 18tb seagate ironwolf and makes sounds too

Yeah, that's normal and it's annoying as hell. I will buy from WD next time.

This is very normal. External drives with amount of memory are gonna sound like that. I have 16TB Seagate Expansion external hard drive. It does the same things. Yet, I will encourage you not to leave that external drive plugged up like it's appliances or some thing because it is not. It will decrease how long that drive last over time. If you're not currently using the drive. Properly disconnect it from that computer and unplug it, until you're ready to use it.

Its too fast now, how do i slow it down.

Lmao thats it? Judging by the comments i thought it was gonna sound like a jet taking off. Its actually incredibly quiet for an enterprise drive.

"Promo sm" 😩

wonder what happened with the original poster. Doing gods work friend!

Totally normal, once you get above about 8-10tb capacity every drive is an enterprise drive where performance is a priority and noise characteristics takes a back seat.

Might wanna check the energon readings sounds like a decepticon

❤❤❤❤❤❤

THATS NORMAL HDDS ARE MACHANIC AND THEY HAVE MOVING PARTS

Michael!!!!

This is a seek test, completely normal. Must have an enterprise HDD inside.

I have had a 3x 10tb server for 5 years. I just added 3x 18tb and those 18tb are soooo loud I can hear them through the desk into the downstairs! And in the next room. I had to add some foam to my case to stop it from rattling. WTF?!

Kkkk I also a bit worried about it this vid explain to me, It's normal lol Sooo weird

Yep. I have this 14TB HDD attached to my Mac mini server. Loud af. Was worried at first but seems to r/w as it should. Hasn’t failed so far.

Based off the comments, this seems normal for large drives which is fantastic. I have one myself and it can get quite loud.

I was asking myself the same question. I have bought a Seagate 16tb hdd and it makes the same sounds when it starts up

Yes it is absolutly normal !!! but please remember about very good cooling but those HDD become hot while long time working.

I recently bought a Seagate Expansion 14TB hard drive, and it produces identical loud noises. Guess this is normal for Seagate, but it's really annoying. When you copy the data it's ok, but when you try - for instance - to play a movie or music, it gets loud as hell.

just realize this video is gone from Quadrivia's channel

This is not a harddrive, I think you bought a Drum machine! :D Record it, sell it and it's a Banger!

Lyrics: I'm the ruler of nobility (That does just as I please) A class of hive and queen (My hive of loyal bees) As a lady of high esteem (The creme de la creme) The picture of regality (You know just who I am) My life's a game of chess The pawns ruled by their queen Rightful ruler of a nation My subjects under me My past was high and mighty I refuse to accept defeat (I get what I want) A masquerading savant To redeem our prompt retreat Wear their faces like a dress Make no identity mistake Love, ponies' ironic dismay I'll make our nation better With their lust to be together In the end I'll make a kingdom of it all This day will not be Forgotten When I get to watch them fall | When I get to stand up tall | When I get to rule them all Like pawns in a game of chess The queen will kill them all | The queen will rule them all

I have two 14Tb iron wolf drives and they make a lot of noise to. I’m hoping it’s normal?

awesome, you flew over a few spots we frequent a lot :) Keep 'em coming!

This is crazy.. This is legit how every hard drive I have bought in the last month sounds like. I thought I was losing my mind so I compared it to older, similar capacity drives and nope, none of them make any sound even close to this. These are what I have bought and sound exactly like this. 2 x 14 TB WD easystore drives 4 x 16 TB WD easystore drives. They do not make that noise during read or writes of sequential data. But any random seeks sound like what you hear in the video.

I think this is normal. I remember, you have a big external hard drive. These things use a lot of power. And HDDs make more noise than SSDs

wicked!!!!

Omg!!! That's awesome. Looks like fun, but I wouldn't do it. That's way too high for me! Love this

Hello. I would like to ask your permission to show this incredible sighting to the public of Brazil. All UFO videos on my channel include credits and link to the channel of the person who posted the footage. kzfaq.infovideos?view_as=subscriber

Hi! I guess you uploaded this because you are a fan of Quadrivia and you noticed everything from their channel is gone. Do you by any chance have all the songs saved?

Maybe blown transformer?

Nice Capture! May I share your video on my channel ? I would be sure to credit your original link! Thanks

Hi there, great catch, I was wondering if I could use it on my channel, I would give you full credit to you and it would be greatly appreciated, May i please have your permission to use your video on my channel?
