    Disappointed by the noise

    I bought two disks to put them in Raid1 in a NAS synology ds718+ . I usually take WD black and this time I wanted to "save" by taking disks intended for the NAS ... and well I am completely disappointed by the noise ... a cyclic "clong" is heard even when there is no transfer ...
    I had doubts about the possibility of a bad isolation of the NAS, but by replacing the disks by 1 disk 1To WD Black, and there, no noise!

    The drive doesn't look bad, but the noise it makes doesn't inspire confidence.
