I researched the reddit a little bit and saw that there is a noise level difference between these two, but this is probably said for 7/24 writing/reading systems. That's the reason why i wanted to open this post.

I am thinking about putting one of them on my computer at my office (just as an archive, storing photos and stuff), which preferably needs to stay quiet. I already have a SSD for my system. Am i going to notice the noise difference between the two while doing nothing but using my computer? (without directly using the HDD, also copying and pasting stuff into it.)
