So /g/ I recently bought two Hitachi drives both are horrifically loud and one is failing, which drives do you guys use and what are the quietest drives currently available?
Hey faggot
Enjoying the slient operation of my Samsung 850 pro 512gb
hah
I can answer
any 1 platter HDD 1TB drive is quiet
I had both 500GB seagate (inaudible)
and 1tb wd blue ezes, (quiet)
but those were not permanent, well 500GB was but its small
so I bought WD RED 3TB
its ranked as one of the quietest and I agree
then I was buying last month another HDD 4TB seagate for NAS,
4TB seagates have great reliability in backblaze stats, better than WDs
so I got it, and returned it few days later
it was not loud, at least not too much, but it was audible and I just didnt want that
so I bought another WD RED 3TB
I found some ranking on silent PC or somewhere, that 3TB model is quieter than 4TB red...
anyway thats what I know

That's fine i guess
>>53416318
That's cool but i have stuff to store
>>53416556
Server?
>>53416607
No, just lots of files
>>53416322
Probably a stupid question can NAS drives be used in a desktop?

>can NAS drives be used in a desktop?
They can provided they have a connector that the motherboard supports. It's not a good idea to do that, though, as NAS drives aren't optimised for general desktop usage

Ah okay thank you
>>53416473
How does that even work if you don't even know his IP address? Tech illiterate here, pls explain.
>>53416692
yeap
they are the same as desktop hdd
but
longer warranty
optimized for storage, not speed
so lower rpm 5400/5900 rpm
>>53416267
just stick with that hitachi quality.

I would but the sectors doubled, the seeking sound is also the most disgusting thing i've ever heard
>>53416692
No nigger I meant use a home server pc to keep your main pc quiet
I wasn't even aware Hitachi sold HDD's under the Hitachi name anymore.
>>53418627
I suppose that is a viable option for my media files, regardless i still need big drives for muh gaems

I think CrystalDisk just displays Hitachi, drives are labelled HGST
