Why caviar black is so noisy? Do you have any boring noise experience with this HDD?
>>54752515
Because all caviar drives are shit. I only hear my drives when they turn off.
>>54752515
Because it's not a SSD or slow HDD, parts physically move fast inside it, and you probably do not have a suspension mechanism on your HDD mount?
>>54752515
Sorry, I only buy 5400rpm/5900rpm drives like a non-retard.
You're gonna want to check the smart status on the drive with a tool like gsmartcontrol to see if it's dying. Post results
>>54752515
Blacks are hot and noisy, they always have been.
>not decoupling HDDs
kek gotta feel the vibe amirite
>>54752515
Because it's optimized for speed, not noise.
Greens are optimized for noise.

Tell me about it, these black people moved in next door and they keep me up at night with their ghetto music. One of them is a qt3.14 tho.
>>54752777
What is smartctl?
>>54752515
>he didn't buy a baracuda drive
top kek
>>54752515
Barracuda eats Caviar, it's the food chain.

>these black people moved in next door and they keep me up at night
holee shit just like me irl, we are so lucky to experience this :)
>>54753158
My barracuda died after 3 years of use.
I'm never buying seagate again.
>>54752777
I've literally never seen smart spot a dying drive.
>>54752515
should of got a blue caviar. LOVE MINE
its cute
>>54754131
prove it, seagate is better than western digital
>>54752777
Nah, caviar blacks are noisy and sound like they're about to break from day 1 but they don't break
>>54752515
Its the sound of blistering speed
>>54754381
Google it. Seagate fail. Western ditigal has always been the top dog of hard drives
>>54752515
It's based off an enterprise drive where noise doesn't matter. Same with some Toshiba drives.
My only gripes about them is that
>louder than Corsair fans at full RPM
>gets hot as fuck, so you need Corsair fans running at full RPM
Also, you're a cuck if you get a Black that came out over a year and is under 5TB. 6TB WD Black masterrace
>220MB/s read/write
>>54752515
>he thinks a 7200rpm drive is loud
i have had one for over 3 years and the sound has never been an issue. my case has sound dampening though i assume if it was that loud i would still hear it
>>54755630
HAHAHAHA My NVME SSD have 1.5k MB/s write
keep it up grandpa
>>54755818
>6TB
Enjoy deleting everything on your shitty 512GB drive. I've got room to spare on my projects.
>>54755873
>2016
>still using mechanical disk
STOP LIVING IN THE PAST GRANDPA!!!
My Seagate barracuda is actually a Samsung Spinpoint F3.
>>54754131
Yet my Barracuda is still going strong, 7 years later.
>>54755630
>not getting an NAS drive for less $/GB
>not savoring that 210MB/s sequential
>>54755818
>>54755917
>compares a drive with a totally different interface and many times more $/GB to a regular HDD.
Great logic.
>>54754131
Step it up senpai
>>54755630
>6TB WD Black masterrace
>>220MB/s read/write
My £68 3TB toshiba does 200-210 already m8
Blacks are overpriced as fuck. Might as well get a good drive like HGST.

/thread
>>54756591
this BTW is the barracuda 7200.11
I had 4 of them and 3 died just after a year, almost simultaneously but this one has been going ever since.
>>54756604
That's burst speed, ya dunce
Your 3TB Toshiba can't sustain more than 170 MB/s read/write. My Black does 200 MB/s sustained. I know because I own a few of the Toshiba P300 3TB on my back-up NAS.
>>54758100
>P300
Yeah no thats not the same drive.
>>54758232
It's you have an DT01 or PH3300U, then the P300 is merely a slightly redesigned version of your drive with some optimizations and firmware. Technically, the P300 is faster by a few MB/s in nearly every aspect.
>>54754201
only smart values worth anything are those about reallocated sectors. if they rise quickly, your drive is on the way out.
most drives tend to fail mechanically way before that, tho.
I have one. I don't notice the noise because I have my Noctua PPC fans and D14 cooler covering the noise.
SSDs finally replacing HHDs when?
>>54758864
10 years.
WD Black owner here. Yeah it's noisy sometimes but nothing to worry about. It's part of its normal operation. Should have gotten something else if you didn't want the noise, like a green.
>>54758989
or just get a barracuda
