I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a 18TB Exos X20. It arrived today and and I put it in my new DAS. It immediately started beeping so I tried plugging the USB into another computer. Neither of them sees the drive and it just beeps. Is the noise because the drive is damaged? I’m posting a link to a short where you can hear it. Sorry for the noob question.
