Hi guys. i've recently bought a WD hard drive. It's fast and cool
(between 35 to 41) But it makes an annoying sound while reading\writing data. Please listen to the recorded file and let me know if it's a broken drive. Please note that there is no distance between the hole on the top of the HDD and microphone, that's why it's so clear and a bit loud. If you're using a slow connection, download the second file.
