This hard drive is incredibly noisy. Like it is eating celery non-stop all day. Why?

Could it be that you do not have it installed on mounts with rubber isolation? Are you using it as an operating system drive or swap drive? Mine are all whisper quiet, but used for large file storage and are mounted in plastic cages with rubber isolators. Any drive is going to be noisy if it's hard mounted to metal and has to seek all the time.

Does this drive have international WD warranty?

That's a legal question and the answer may depend on where you are located. You should ask Western Digital directly. Also, a warning: some sellers here on Amazon sell OEM drives which do not have a Western Digital warranty. This has happened to me three times. In each case, Amazon has helped me exchanged the drive for one that was under warranty. I make it a habit to register every new drive with Western Digital as soon as I receive it. That way I'm sure it is under warranty.

My dell t3600 does not support 12tb drive. has anyone been successful in using a simple add-on storage controller with 12tb? what brand/model?

Hi, the problem is coming from the BIOS and from the Brand of the hard disk. try to update your bios and/or go to the website of dell to download specific fix on the support page.
