Is anyone here having an enterprise hard drive in their personal desktops??

I heard they are LOUD but I've seen videos on their sound and they dont seem to be THAT loud. Any !codecels or !g*mers

I torn between this and this

Toshiba 14TB 3.5inch Enterprise HDD (MG07ACA14TE) or

Seagate Exos X18 12TB Internal Hard Drive Enterprise HDD - CMR 3.5 Inch Hyperscale SATA 6Gb/s, 7200RPM, 512e/4Kn, 256MB Cache (ST12000NM001J)

I prefer IronWolf drives personally. It's practically the same thing except IronWolf drives are better for RAID applications. I've heard that Exos drives are louder than most drives on average but don't know from experience if that's the case.

ironwolfs of the same capacity are more expensive than exos or any other enterprise drives

Many datahoarders use tapes for longterm cold storage, and SSDs for hot storage. High upfront cost for tapes, but you are never going to have issues with it once they are set up. Of course it's only really worth it when you crack 100 TB.

my 3TB hard drive from 2015 finally died due to the 43C heat wave we are having. So a replacement for that

Either start moving to SSDs, or if you really want space get a few large HDDs with moderate capacity. There is no good reason to get enterprise grade stuff if you're not sticking it in a server where max capacity/slot counts

Grab an 8-12TB Seagate Ironwolf then. Add another if you ever fill the space. Will cost a lot less and you'll get decent performance.

thats the issue, I am getting these 12/14tB for $250 new and ironwolfs are like $250 for 6/8TB

Jump in the discussion.

It's not about the brand, this is pure capacity. If there's comparable i/o speed then get the cheaper one. 8TB is much more cost effective than 16TB, in my country ironwolf drives are much cheaper.

even in seagate the price per TB here is vast

It doesn't seem loud when watching a 30 seconds youtube video

Having it humming a couple feet from you all day long is a different story

I believe they have dB measurements if you google the model number.

Don't use spinning rust in my desktop, just my dedicated Plex server (i5 1235U mini PC, drives connected over TB4 enclosures)

If you need big drives I'd recommend refurbs from Serverpartdeals. You're a Sexy Indian dude though, so IDK if they sell to you people.
