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 was very late on this but internal SSD are 100 times better than hard drives and have completely moved over to them

For day-to-day usage they are. For mass media storage for a Plex server you still need spinning rust.
22TB spinning rust drives have been on the market for over a year. That just wouldn't be feasible for a consumer Plex server.
I've got over 400TB of usable storage on my Plex server now.
My NAS is 16TB of usable SSD's from when 4TB drives cratered in price last year.
My Plex server has 64GB of RAM with 32GB as a RAM disk so that transcodes to my parent's shitty clients doesn't murder my boot SSD over time.
Also just put a 4TB 990 Pro into my Galaxy Book Ultra 3. Has 5TB of usable SSD storage now. Trying to teach myself Davini Resolve right now. HDD's still have a place, especially as cold storage for archiving data. Leaving an SSD unpowered for years on end can result in data loss.

I hate encoded files, lmao. I've got a 77" LG G3 and just upgraded my sound system.
4k remuxes are usually 60-80GB per movie. Storage fills up fast. I have a hardwired 1GB fiber connection, too.
It's awesome. Just wish someone would finally make a proper Nvidia Shield successor. The 2019 Pro model is running a die shrink of a 2015 SoC. The current Apple TV is legitimately 10 years ahead hardware wise, but you have to use infuse for decent audio codec support.

AMD sucks for hardware transcoding. Quicksync is king for transcoding right now.
If you're not hosting to remote users and only locally direct playing you could use a toaster.

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.

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

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
The iron wolfd is ₹2750/TB and the exos is ₹2167/TB thats 25% more on the ironwolf nas drives

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.
