seagate. ugh. had 2 of them die on the same day. No SMART warnings or nothing. I couldn’t trust that much data to them. Hope they don’t do the 1 year warranty on it like their other drives.
I can honestly tell you that I just gave up regarding Noise … I first bought a 10TB IronWolf drive and it was noisy as hell and vibrating badly so I returned it. Then I bought a 8TB Western Digital Red (low RPM model) and that one was even worse so again, I returned it. That’s when I just gave up and ordered a 8TB Sky Hawk (had nice discount) and of course it makes the same shitty noises as the IronWolf one. Later I bought a 4TB HGST Nas drive and guess what, it vibrates as badly as the WD Red one … I have no ideea what’s happening and why reviews don’t mention noise at all … my old(4-5+years old) Seagate 3TB and Toshiba 4TB drives make little to no noise and so do the 2TB Barracuda Drives – they are by far the most silent.
I have massively dissapointed in these large capacity HDD’s … maybe its just the NAS type HDD’s that are the issue … maybe the green Barracuda ones will be fairly silent … I don’t know, I just can’t find any info anywhere sadly T_T”

250 MBPS- that’s nearly half the speed of a good SATA 3 SSD. This is just incredible!
What about noise please? Since I’m trying to decide between Seagate and HGST, noise, or the lack of it, is quite important to me..

It says early on there’s a 5 year warranty.
