WD Blue very loud?

[Looby219]

I'm almost positive my WD blue is faulty. Its in warranty, but i want to know if its worth my time and waiting and $7 shipping to get a replacement. It sounds a lot like fan when spinning. It is very audible. Also, the noise it makes when in heavy use is very loud, it sounds a lot like a grinding.

if it is new and you hear heavy grinding and clicking then it is most likely it needs to be RMAd or you need to pull the warranty card
