Sorry to hear that, mate. Mechanical drives are certainly more fragile than say, solid-state, though as long as it fits inside the tower and is mounted properly, it should be fine. I'm guessing it's a 3.5-inch form factor, right?

It has to be something on the software side of things, though not having any knowledge of Linux, online forums would be more helpful than me, I'm afraid. I hope you get it fixed soon :-(

Yes, it's one of those. I am beginning to think that this drive is malfunctioning right from the factory.

A SSD of 6 TB is simply not affordable. 🤪

Hell no, you're going to need a corporate-sized budget to get an SSD affordably past 1TB! If you're hearing loads of whirring and noise, it could definitely be a malfunction on the drive itself. So, you'd better have that exchanged right quick. Just a tip, it would be helpful to have a video w/ sound of the hard-drive in action, just as backup :-)
