Hi there, data hoardarians i invoke you!
I already have 2 wd red plus 12tb i bought them because this sub, i read thousand times they are really quiet and its true, im very happy with them.
Im ready to get my 3rd hdd but in my country right now its really hard to find wd red plus used(wd red plus are sold out). Im from Europe and here thers not serverpartdeals.
I got my 2 hdd in a second hand website, they were new, sealed for 200€. (New its over 300 and almost 400).
I need an alternative to WD red plus, every time i try to buy a good deal, Toshiba mg, Seagate, etc. I search about noise reviews, opinions, etc and i dont buy It because of scratching noise (wd sounds more like blurpblurp).
I know noise is relative for you maybe is quiet and for others is noisy as fuck.
I have seen reviews of Toshiba mg and n300, ironwolfs(maybe not pro version?), exos, hgst ultrastar,my book/elements shucked.
YouTube videos about noise are really bad... They amplified the sound of the video and scares you to buy a chainsaw instead a HDD.
Can you tell me an alternative to theese brands/models that are really quiet? Or one i mentioned above? (Im scared of ironwolfs because of this sub and YouTube)
