Quiet 2-3TB drive
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2012 5:54 pm
Hello,
My current data drive is a WD15EADS. It is very quiet, but as it is only 1.5TB I have run out of space and need a new drive.
I've read that the WD15EADS is exceptionally quiet, so would it be unsafe to assume that other WD Green drives would be as quiet (although I've heard they are pretty quiet in general)? Say something like WD20EARS or WD30EZRSDTL.
I've heard about "head park feature" which decreases the life of WD Green drives, is this an issue to consider?
I have both SATA 3GB/s and 6GB/s so does it make a difference which one a drive uses?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
arachan.
