I've bought the WD Elements many times and I've always found that they get louder and louder over time. Why is that? They also vibrate more and more, even though I place them upright, as recommended, on the rubber nubs. Can anyone recommend really good alternatives that are very quiet, i.e. "inaudible"?
I notice that too. I don't know of a real alternative. Another negative thing I notice is that the large discs cannot be password-protected with the WD software. I have now encrypted them with Veracrypt. I still have an older My Book with 9TB, which is quieter and can be password-protected. But for over 20TB I have stocked up with WD Elements, so I can't help.
