I’m inclined to buy 4 x WD60EFPX (6TB Red Plus) drives to populate a DAS, but am concerned about potential thumping sounds emitted by the PWL mechanism. I previously owned a 4TB Black that was nearly silent, but had those thumping sounds every 5 seconds, which really annoyed me. So, to owners of the WD60EFPX, how has your experience been? If this model really has WPL, I may consider the WD120EFBX instead, since it is helium-filled and probably quieter overall (even though it certainly has WPL).
