Hello!
Yesterday I installed an 8 terabyte hard drive on my computer. I have not installed anything on that drive yet, until now. Recently I linked my new disk up with steam and began to download a game. (20 Gigs.) During the download and validation process, a loud crackle and rumble began to emit from the disk (at least that's what it seemed like.) It was rumbling so hard, my desk would slightly shake every time it crackled. This once again was the first thing I installed on the drive. I've always heard this coming from my computer when downloading games, even with my other drives. If anybody knows what this noise is, please let me know. The noise isn't annoying, it's just that I'm worried about something going wrong. I haven't found any threads that have direct answers to this, so if anybody knows what this is, please lmn.
(Another thing to note, my headphones did not pick up any of it despite being able to record quieter things.)
