ASK NC

Looking at NAS solution for photos, music, documents, and video (mainly 1080p but may want to do 4k).

Looking at DS1522+ with 4x8tb drives, probably red plus. Want to be as quiet as possible. Is 8tb less noisy than 10 tb? Is 8 tb more noisy than 4 or 6 tb?

Thank you

DS920+ would be better for remote 4k streaming. But locally you can use ds1522+ for this.

Yes, 10TB drives seem to be louder. But the rest is around 27db https://documents.westerndigital.com/con...us-hdd.pdf

Bigger drives often are not loud at spinning but during chiselling process. It's not the noise, but the random knocking. Doesn't sound like a music. Sometimes it is better to have more noise, but in a predictable pattern. Better for the human ear.
