Hi. I am looking for a couple of hard drives for my my music recording studio, so noise level is very important. In looking at the WD product brief document, I found that one of the quietest drives is the WD Red Plus WD60EFPX with 256Mb cache (Acoustics (dBA) - Idle: 23, Seek (average): 27). I also see that it is CMR and not SMR.
In examining the model number I think I understand everything except for the RPM/Buffer Size digit which says P = Intellipower. Is this ok, or is there any disadvantage or advantage to this? Would R = 5400 RPM with 64 MB cache be better?
Thank very much for your informative YouTube videos. Cheers.
