I faced with this recently as well, I have a Hd710 pro 2TB. after two hours of copying a dataset(170GB of images and xml files) into the drive, the led started blinking in red, then blue and so on.
This is brand new and its placed on a steady level without any kind of movement.
Is the drive faulty? can this be due to the drive's temp? (its 44C/111.2F now)
Should I be worried?
here is the short video clip showing this : https://file.io/2i4tRNwj2Uqs
The sound that you hear in the video is the artifact caused by the convertor. In reality everything is very quiet

Thanks a lot in advance

Contacted the Adata support and they said if this happens on other PCs/ even after changing the cable or usb port used, RMA it. and thats what I did
