WD Red pro 8tb very hot and loud
I just replaced my old WD red 4tb with new WD red pro 8tb (WD8003FFBX) and its getting very hot and loud compared to the old one.
While I was transferring files temperatures got to 50, 51 degrees with a lot of sounds coming out of it. Is this normal?

Yeah, 8TB drives in general really need active cooling and they also tend to be on the louder side.
