After installing my new red plus 10tb hdd I started to transfer over 6 tbs worth of my files from the previous drive and about 4 or 5 tb into it I randomly decided to touch the drive bay and I was shocked at how hot not even the drive was but just the metal drive bay case it was in! I then touched the back of it the part that is exposed and it was so damn hot like felt like almost burning me hot!!!! I decided to just press pause on the file transfers for now but it's been about 30 minutes on pause and it still seems pretty hot.... is this normal? I'm not so sure because I touched the older wd black drive that I was getting that big 6tbs from and it should be hot as well no because it transfered that entire time too but it wasn't hot at all!!?? Maybe writing files makes it hotter than it would be coppying? Please any advice is appreciated
