The PWL Click is Unbearable
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start by saying, price wise, when on sale, this seems like a screaming deal, which is why I picked up two of these. However if you're intending to have this sit on a desk plugged in all the time you WILL be driven mad by the Preemptive Wear Leveling (PWL) noise. A quick internet search will provide you a video that shows this behavior in action. This is BY DESIGN every 5 seconds you will hear an audible 'clunk'. AGAIN BY DESIGN this occurs! If this were sitting in a sever room or on a NAS in a closet somewhere that might not be a big deal, but when this thing is sitting next to you its incredible that this passed a smell test for a consumer product. This is apparently not configurable either even with WD Drive Tools. Had I know this I WOULD NOT have purchased this drive. The frustrating part about this is that other drive manufacturers (Seagate for example) have not taken this route. Its unclear if there really is longevity benefits to this design, but sadly I'm returning these drives due to this issue.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Preemptive Wear Leveling (PWL) noise caused frustration with your Easystore 20TB drives. While this feature is designed for drive longevity, we understand how the noise can be disruptive in a workspace.

SO NOISY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got it so I don't know how well it operates BUT it is so distractingly loud! I have 2 5TB G drives connected as well but they are so smooth and silent. The constant crunch crunch struggle of this hard drive is definitely distracting while editing. It sounds like its dying.

Posted .Hello Muggle, Please be informed that hard drives produce some noise when they work. The amount and kind of noise depend on what the hard drive is doing like reading or writing data. It's good to know which sounds are normal and which might mean there's a problem with the hard drive.
