Hi Everyone

Today I got a new brand WD Elements External HDD 12TB ; however, the PWL (Preventative Wear Leveling) noise really annoys.

You can here the noise : www.drive.google.com/file/d/1_6Qi787j9Mk7hqGvJBePJS5HEgR8fNGz/view

Apart from the PWL noise there is a very strange noise that starts when running the hdd.

Do the Seagate big data HDDs also have the same PWL noise?
