The drives are quieter than expected, even with 4 running. The noise level is hardly noticeable and I can only hear the sound of the disk heads moving.
The internal hard drive hardly makes any noise.
The drives spinning are hardly audible, and I can only hear the sound of the disk heads moving. They are quieter than I expected, even with 4 drives running.
When I am doing a lot of reading and writing to the drive, it becomes noisier. Although it is not annoying, it is clearly audible.

78% appreciated its fast read and write speeds

I am happy with the speed of my internal hard drive based on my daily usage, even though I am not into running speed tests.
80% praised for its massive storage capacity, but 20% found it too small
I am amazed by the storage capacity of the hard drives. The density is so high that it operates almost as quickly as an SSD when seeking a file.
Both drives have 5 years of uptime, indicating reliable storage capacity tested over time.
The 14 TB hard drive is one of the best disks due to its relatively expensive and fast CMR compared to much cheaper and slower SMR.
Our hard drives failed at 4 and 8 months respectively.
