It's A Digital Disease!

I'm looking to get a reliable 16tb disk for my PC workstation. It's mostly for file archive. Movies, ISO files, Photos and videos etc. So I won't be using it as a work disk. But I need it too work fine in my Midi Tower PC. I work from with it around 9 hours a day. It's time to retire those old 1,2 and 4 TB drives, I'm at 55000 hours.

But... I still haven't found any posts anywhere from someone that actually used the Exos in a PC, only people using it in NAS. Anyone here with experience?

Right now the EXOS is the cheapest quality drive of that size where I'm from. Will the noise drive me nuts if I'm used to a Samsung Spinpoint F from 12 years ago?
