    Is this HDD noise normal?

    Hello, My New HDD is a Seagate Ironwolf pro nas 7200rpm 16TB ,and ive never owned such a large drive or pro version and i am concerned about the noise it makes. I can live with it ofc but since ive never owned a noisy drive i figured i could make sure in this forum if its safe to use or if its damaged?
    This is during load so this is when its working its ass off. when its not working its quiet with just a small sound every now and then.
