Oh my. My 2 4TB WD Golds are terrible at night, I’m just laying there imagining what are they doing now with such sounds. Instead of sleeping. Ugh.
Thinking about swapping to 6tb Red for the system volume with all the background software. Afraid of losing performance-wise with slower drive, but Pros are a bit too expensive and I’m not sure if the speed doesn’t guarantee more noise… Cause certainly can’t rely on the dBs in the spec sheets.
If you end up buying Pros, please mention how do they compare to Gold for noise.
Also, why do you specifically need 7200rpm? Like, did you have Synology experience with 5400 before, and the slowdown is noticeable? I just want to know what I might lose, swapping noisy 7200 Gold for 5400 Red.
