I have just changed my noisy hard drive against using this simple but very useful command to clone the old drive on the new one. 1 hour and a half later, everything is running smoothly … and silently!
This has lead to several down times, everything should be back now.
I have filled an RMA on Western Digital support pages, and should receive a replacement drive very soon.
