Silent HDD Recomendation for NAS
#13
The main advantage of network attached storage is that everything on your LAN can access it and it can be hiden away from your living space where your cant hear it. If you do this then HD noise doesn't matter, just dont have it in your living & listening space.

That said I have both WD Red and Seagate Ironwolf NAS drives in my array and both models are pretty quiet for spinning disks, quieter than a lot of desktop drives. My array is 6 disks in 2 fan cooled jbod enclosures so they're not quiet, they're under the stairs far away from the listening space.

I agree that SSDs are not ideal for home NAS applications just yet, they're expensive and whilst wear rates have improved in recent years consumer ssds aren't built for 24/7 nas application and the performance isn't needed for the average home, you saturate the LAN before reaching the limits of a HDD.
