WD Red pro 8tb very hot and loud

I just replaced my old WD red 4tb with new WD red pro 8tb (WD8003FFBX) and its getting very hot and loud compared to the old one.

While I was transferring files temperatures got to 50, 51 degrees with a lot of sounds coming out of it. Is this normal?

I’d say any drive needs that. I left a 3tb running without cooling and it got up to 60c
