i have a Western Digital My Book Essential 2TB external hard disk. i bought it on march 12, 2011.
my hard disk grumble periodically. mostly when accesing files. it grumbles like a grumbling stomach, but it has no sound. the hard disk is silent.
i can feel the grumble when touching the sides of the hard disk. is it normal?
i never dropped it or anything that will damage the drive.
thanx.

If you don't feel comfortable with that drive, just return it and get a new one.

If you couldn't change it, RMA it or trash it
i propose to grumble back to it, to restore justice.
