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)

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.

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.
