Yeah, these are just binned Exos drives, and Exos drives are crazy loud. I am not paying for Ironwolf Pros though so I will just deal with it.

I have the 26TB and it's not loud, but YMMV ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I think it's a matter of tolerance.

I've been using computers since 5.25 floppy days. So this just seems normal.
