External hard drive is making a clunk every 3-5 seconds. Will swapping the drive fix the clunk? (zerobytes.monster)

External drive is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BB8SWB4X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

You can see in the reviews that a lot of people are complaining about a clunk noise every ~3-5 seconds even when not actively being used.

The clunk has happened since purchase. My question is if the clunk is associated to the drive or the controller?

AKA: Will the drive go silent if I open it up and drop in a WD Red?
