Re: Can someone help me with my current rig? Annoying noises

Thanks ever so much for the recommendation. I just bought it straight away lol Only one shop in the U.K. had it and lucky they are a very reputable retailer. Cant wait to make this PC silent!

Can someone help me with my current rig? Annoying noises

WD Green vs. WD Red for quietness?

I have tried the Seagate Barracuda 3TB and imo its just way too noisy for me. So I have decided to pay a bit extra for the WD hdds. So which one shall I get? They are both similar priced yet the Red comes with 3 year warranty. I just want to know which one will be most quiet?

Thank you.
