Question Weird sound from brand new Western Digital Blue HDD ?

[shukyshuky]

Hi! I just bought a brand new WD blue this morning and when I was trying to install it, it made a weird noise that stopped when I moved the hard disk. Later when I continue with the installation I moved it a little bit and it made that noise again. Should I return it or is this normal? I have never heard this type of sound, is this considered coil whine ?

It's bunk/defective, Send it back for replacement.

Also - Never ever move a hard drive that is spinning, that will probably destroy it.

Modern hard drives are so delicate piece of machinery, the read/write head have a clearance from the magnetic disk that counts only a few atoms.

Thank you for the replies! I checked hard disk sentinel and Crystal disk info and the health status appears as perfect and there hasnt been any other sound. I will still take it to the place i bought so they can check it out.
