toshiba n300 vs toshiba mg vs exos x18 for NAS

I have a choice of 16-20TB disks at these per-TB prices and I can’t decide which to buy for a dual bay NAS.

toshiba N300 for 20 Euro/TB
toshiba MG for 16 Euro/TB
seagate EXOS x18 for 17 Euro/TB

Which one of these is the quietest AND most suitable for a NAS?

I am very confused by Toshibas. On paper, MG drive is a much better drive than N300 but somehow it costs more. Why? N300 is supposed to be the NAS one but what makes it a NAS drive? All info info I’ve found so far paints it in worse light than MG. Exos disk (according to this subreddit) is both the quietest and the loudest of all drives. It’s also the best and the worst for tolerating vibration.
