   @asie Well interestingly I just bought a Toshiba N300 6TB (model: HDWG460) few days ago, doesn't seems to be noisier than other hard drives, and I'd know since my desktop doesn't have any noise padding.

     I'm running out of hard drive space, plus my drives are aging... What are your thoughts on Toshiba N300/MG08 helium drives (12-18TB bracket)? They seem to be available for like $20-$22/TB here (with the more enterprise model being cheaper), but I'm not sure how loud they are in practice - I could build a NAS and put it in a separate room eventually, but for now I'd have to put them in my (noise-padded) computer...
     
     For context, I generally use HDDs as long-term storage drives, and SSDs for day-to-day work; this is why I'm worried about NAS drives not being the right choice, as they are rather noisy even if they are rather durable too.
     
     If you have other recommendations, I'd like to hear them, too!
