Hello, I bought a WD 12TB Gold HD about a year and a half ago, and 6-7 months I started to notice noises from the hard drive while playing games that are installed on that HD with a 2 seconds freeze.
That has lasted for a month, and then every freeze turned out to last 1-3 minutes (the game not responding at all) and the hard drive is making noises like a semi-trailer, terrible grinding noises.
When the game would unfreeze the noises from the HD would also disappear.
It also created an error event in the log viewer:

note: No pictures have been duplicated, every image is a unique log error regarding the same HD.
The HD passed the tests in the store, I downloaded and bought HD sentinel license, ran random long intensive and it passed, also passed the write test.
It says that the HD’s health is 100%.
The store also tested it and it passed everything.
They did say that it made unusual noises and this is even written on their “lab check paper” that I still keep.
I gave up back then and just installed my favorite games on my ssd and for the rest of the time (maybe 7 months) have never occurred a single freeze.
The HD always makes noise since then even though it’s in idle and empty for 7months.
Motherboard: Asus IX Formula
PSU: Seasonic Fully Modular 750w
I kinda gave up on this, I don’t know what to do anymore and the store says that the HD is ok and I sometimes feel like throwing it to the garbage and buy a different one from a different store.
Can someone maybe come to my rescue? I paid a lot for it and it feels like a lost battle.
I also use an original Sata 3 cable that came with the Asus formula IX Motherboard.
