The problem i see is that the companies which issue questionable equipment obviously are not paying attention to problems and features of what they sell. Look at the example of my 4 TB Western Digital Gold hard disk with its Preemptive Wear Leveling click every 4 seconds. It is a feature, it is indirectly advertised, and still the seller takes such a disk back and hands out a new one with the same behavior. They simply are ignorant to any problem description which accompanies a sent-back drive. I did not try whether they would do a second swap. My solution was to get a noise dampened 5.25 inch enclosure for the 3.5 inch disk and to put it into a slot which i actually planned to keep clear for better access to the lower of the two optical drives. (I did not dare to put the HDD in a sandwich of two burners. Now at least its bottom is in the flow of cool air.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
