Dear nas compares team,
I amcurrently looking to expand caoacity on my trusted QNAP TS-869 Pro as my SG Enterprise Capacity 3 TB drives started to fail one by one and their load noise was driving me mad. Partly because the NAS sits under my telly in the living room and is well within hearing distance. The flat is rather small, so another location isn't possible. I changed to first two HDD failures to WD Red 10 TB and am actually quite happy with those. Being a data hoarder I want to go for top capacity and wanted to ask of you have already made noise level comparisons of 14 and 16TB drives. I am looking for the quietest drive. Should they be considerably louder, I would keep on changing failing drives to the WD Red 10 TB HDDs.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
P.S.: I love you youtube channel. Top notch very helpful videos.
