Are these noisy? Noisier than a WD Plus or Pro?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

This or the wd 18tb for 200?
WD 4 me
welp this is my stop. in for 2
What is the default format out of the box, is it 512e? Can in mix with WD red pros in DS920+? Anything to consider?
Well I would 3, was waiting on a serverpartsdeal sale but they kept jacking prices up. Plus this has a 5 year warranty versus 2. And I paid the payments through zip via discover which doubles my warranty.
Seagate and newegg... wouldn't even buy with someone else's money
Never had any issues with Seagate’s Exos. Still have 5 10TBs that I use daily.
They have some 10TB helium for roughly the same price/TB.

I'm not sure what the difference is. They look like the same drive with a different model number. 3 x 10TB in RAID 5 -OR- 2 x 20TB in RAID 1? Decisions, decisions....
dang, and I just bought the BB 18TB for $200. I'd be happy to pay a little more for this.
I literally just got done shucking the 18TB too lol, sigh... guess that's the nature of Black Friday week/month.
Just bought one. Hopefully, the drive will be new and in great packaging condition. Thank you for the tip about the sale.
