Looking to pull the trigger soon on a storage build at home so it can't be super loud. It seems to be the general consensus that WD Red Plus is the favourite over IronWolf Pros in terms of reliability and noise, but the Red Plus looks to have a significant premium attached. I am looking to build a 4-5 drive system.
For example, Red Plus 12TB cheapest available is £244:

The same site has IronWolf Pro 12TB for £144:

Meanwhile, and even on Amazon, you can get a 12TB IronWolf Pro for £200 or a 14TB for £199:

Long story short, given it seems to be £50-100+ difference per drive, is there any reason to still go with the WD Red Plus, or should I just hope the noise isn't too bad? Lots of people seem to complain about it, but would you be able to hear it over, say, a TV?
