Hello!
So I bought a western digital black 2TB (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd2002faex) about a week ago with all my other parts of my new computer. (not that site, just easy to find and list it on that site)
Problem is that my case (Obsidian 750D) hard drive holder has these slots you just push in but there is seriously nothing to screw it on to, so it vibrates. I tilted my case like 2-3mm and the sound from the vibrations was gone (I was gonna stuff it or something later so it was more stable) so I thought no more of it. But today it started making a clunking/clonking sound about every 2-5 seconds and at the same time it also started sounding like those old hard drives where it's almost mechanical crackling when it reads/writes. The clunking/clonking sound i noticed was because the hard drive actually "jumps" (or it vibrates, just 100 times worse) like something is springing or smashing against something in there, I took it out of the case and started it and you could feel the small thumps it was making. There is nothing wrong with the speed or write/read functions at the moment but it's majorly annoying and I'm afraid it will break down when I actually have something important on it.
Considering the drive is only like a week old should I return it for a replacement (I have like nothing on it yet, 3 games or something, rest is on my ssd) or is there something ells I can do?
Thanks for the help in advance
