Hey,

Although my WD Black 500GB HDD seems to be working fine, Random Access generates quite an audible 'knocking' sound.

Not sharp clicking sounds, but almost like you're tapping rapidly on the desk with your fingers.

Is this normal?

Due to my case, I could only mount the HDD in the vertical orientation (on its side), between a load of silicone grommets. May hang *slightly* off vertical, but that's the only way to mount it.
