thanks and repped you both for responding
I can't say I use any of the WD drive utilities routinely, but they can be useful for drive firmware updates and the SSD utilities are fine. About all I do with WD Data Lifeguard is the long test for a new drive, and maybe a short test here and there for drives I need to RMA so it will generate a code to give to WD. That doesn't happen often at all, but sometimes for clients. Most people have gone SSD though and drives this large are really somewhat of a niche market - mainly game, media, photo, VM, video, and maybe a few other storage things.
After WD's issues (first the SMR thing, then the more recent issue of flagging drives with warnings just because they were powered on for three years: https://www.pcworld.com/article/1...blems.html), I try to avoid them.
Seagate drives are loud during seek vs. Synology fans. Wd is quiet vs. 60 bays server grade hard drives shelf. Zero comparison.
Would reformatting work? Check bad sector (using windows)?
Or you use other specific software/tool?
For synology, I would do a complete smart check before adding the drive to the volume.
For unraid, I would do a preclear before adding the drive to the array.

Take a look at "WD Discovery" and "WD Security".

The Seagate drives don't sound loud to me at all, an in fact they're quieter than a WD Purple Pro I've got for my security cameras. I've only got 2 x 20TB Exos drives though, as I don't need more than 20TB storage at the moment.

I have a 11th Gen Dell micro, I'd love to use it in a raid format. Can I use a m.2 to SATA?
I plan on using unraid if that matters

or your hard drive spec is wrong?
The drive is 18 "terabytes." and 16.3709 "tebibytes." in windows.
Maybe you can get 18TB in Mac OS or Linux, it's the same space
