The Exos 20TB drives are indeed louder than typical consumer drives, which is something to consider, especially if you’re planning to use it in a quiet space. However, if the drive isn’t located in your bedroom, the noise shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
For reducing the noise further, you can use padding or a sound-dampening enclosure. This can help muffle the operational sounds, making it more manageable even in a living room setting.
If you’re concerned about noise but still want the high capacity, the Exos drive is still a solid choice as long as it's not placed in a bedroom where absolute silence is needed. Just a bit of soundproofing can make a big difference.
