HDD noise levels - Enquiries - 12-08-2022
Hi,
Great that you reviewed HDD noise!
I think that's one the most important aspects!
I'm searching for the most quite high capacity HDD.
Based on your videos I though buying WD Red PLUS (sounds great).
However you wrote that:
– Noise is Higher in Larger Capacities
What is "higher"?
What is the maximum I can get a quite one 4 / 8 / 12 / 14 ?
(would be great to release such video as I imagine home users will search for most quite)
Regards!

Yes, bigger drives tend to be louder. But you need to look at each drive separately. Sometimes you will find several serial numbers under the same capacity. The sound is different.
It seems like 8TB and bellow are the most quite. Maybe you find this page useful https://nascompares.com/answer/wd-red-or-red-plus-or-wd-red-pro/
I hope this helps.
