Now after only a few months I am getting freezes and loud grinding noises from it, and the 90 day warranty has expired

If you Google 'ST8000DM002 idle noise' you'll see plenty of videos on YouTube and forum threads from Synology and Netgear for both the DM002 and VN0002

and it just started to have this annoying, non-stopping grinding noise whenever the computer is on

Very quiet makes hardly any noise at all

A loud clicking noise came from the drive whenever I'd turn on my system after I had connected it

One of the drives works great, the other arrived making an awful noise and slowing my computer down every time it tries to access

It's been making a terrible humming noise when the drive goes idle

After I filled it up, it started making funny noises, and then completely disappeared from My PC.

The noise is also perfect

very loud noise when accessing the drive

Yesterday, my pc made a weird noise and locked up

I bought this Hard Drive as of April 2016 and not only did it come as a 2TB HDD, but within 10 months made the dreaded clicking noises aka the death of a Hard Drive

After about 20 restarts and fussing with settings I started hearing some weird high pitched noises come from my computer and then some random taps

Noise is a massive issue with this drive

These drives make a TERRIBLE, obnoxious whining noise

Wish I was given a weird noise from the drive so I could better prepare for its untimely death

Apparently it's not just my drive, as many users are reporting the exact same loud and annoying noise with this very Seagate model

but I found at least two Youtube videos of this model making that humming noise, so it's definitely not unique to mine

I ended up returning it; I just couldn't deal with such loud noise constantly in the background while working with my computer

Oh thou pile O crap

It is recognized by Windows Device Manager but Disk Management can't do anything because of an i/o error

My 2TB HDD now only shows up as a 3.8 Gb inaccessible unpartitioned drive on my disk management and throws an I/O error if I try to initialize it
