How good are the WD Reds? I am looking for a silent dependable drive.
 
I've had a Red 6tb for about a month torrenting. Rock solid as far as I can tell. Can't comment about the sound though since it's in my server.

That is the direction I am leaning. Thanks for the input.
 
The drive is pretty quiet but still to loud for my setup.. it sounds like a fan running ~ 900-1000 rpm so I hear the whoosh noise. Actually it's the only thing making noise in my setup. I picked up a Smart Drive 2002C enclosure.. that should take care of it and return my silent system back to silent!
 
What do you plan on doing with it? How much power do you require? You streaming 1080p/60fps videos? Music? How many streams? Is networking a consideration? Backups?


NEED MORE INPUT! [/johnny5]

I guess you missed the post where I already got it?
