I just bought an used 8TB Seagate Exos HD and I although seems to works fine what caught my attention is that on startup it makes very weird sounds, this is the first time I bought a seagate hd and also the first time I bought used storage, with smaller (2TB) WD hd's never heard such weird sounds. It's normal?
I tested the disk with Seatools and it passed the short and long test. Also checked it HD Sentinel and seems to be Ok too but I don't understand to much of the parameters listed in the results.
