Noise levels for Exos, Ironwolf Pro, WD Red Pro, WD HC550?

Last_JediB to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 10 months ago

I am looking for a single HDD for my HTPC that sits behind my TV in the living room. Currently I have a shucked WD Elements 12TB in there. Looking to replace it with an 18-20TB HDD.

The noise of my 12TB is largely unnoticeable and I am happy with it. Does anyone know if the 18-20TB Exos, Ironwolf Pro, WD Red Pro, or WD HC550/HC560 drives would be as quiet?
