Hi everyone!
I recently purchased some HGST Desktar NAS drives because of their reputed reliability. I was disappointed, however, when I turned them on and noticed how loud they were! They are easily the loudest component of my system and I can not tolerate it.
I'm thinking of trying the HGST Desktar Coolspin series instead. Is that my best bet for quiet storage drives or are the WD reds or greens worth looking into as well? Speed is not a concern, just noise and reliability.
Thank you!
