Is this noise normal for a new HDD ?

I bought a bunch of Seagate Ironwolf 4TB drives, 5 of them have no noticeable issues/noises (CrystalDiskInfo and SeaTools verified), but the 6th drive is having what sounds like a scratching noise.

Around 0:04.

CrystalDiskInfo and SeaTools show no noticeable issues with the 6th drive, the sound comes only at the bootup and doesn't make any noise post that.

Is this normal or should I be concerned ?

EDIT:- I used a quick online tool to convert this from mp3 to mov ffor reddit to accept, I have no idea where the extra seconds came from post 0:08.

Hello,

I am putting together my second PC/cold storage/torrent PC up. I am looking at this case for its 6*3.5 inch drive support.

I am just looking to see if anybody here has this case, I just want a couple of questions answered, like how good is the cable management, is it easy to build in, how is the strength of the case.

Can I put 2x120mm on the front without removing the the HDD cages ?

The desc says its possible, but I'd like to know from the people who own this case and how much of a tight fit it is, I need the fans because I will be putting in enterprise drives which will run hot and need a bit of air.
