    Western digital Blue owners. Thoughts if this sounds right?


    So just got my HDD replacement. And going from a seagate to a WD hard drive it sounds weird and a lot different, but I just can't tell if that's me.

    What it sounds like installing Windows updates > Brand new western digital HDD sound! - YouTube

    Anyway I'm just looking for thoughts on if this actually does sound normal.

    If it helps its sitting on a Z axis. And oddly upside down I'd that makes sense.

    My seagate was sitting on the same axis but the magnetic arm for the reader head was at the bottom of the case meanwhile my WD HD has its arm flipped 180 so it's nearing the centre of the case.

    Thoughts?

    :)

    Western Digital Elements Desktop External HD NOT being seen by Windows 10

    My Western Digital Elements Desktop External drive is not being seen by my PC since I had to update to Windows 10. This seems to be a major problem for many Western Digital drive owners. Have there been ANY sort of driver updates to fix this issue? This
    is my primary back up for my PC and I need this to work going forward. Right now it is just a very expensive brick.

    Although most enthusiasts go for SSD's now days. Completely silent and 10 times cooler and super fast.

    yeah i have an SSD but not wasting another 200-ish pounds on a SSD that will only just be undercut in performance for this PC.

    also black series for WD are somewhat in the same boat. quite expensive, im on a budget for this PC
