Thank you for reaching out and for being a part of our community! I understand that the noise from your current Seagate Exos enterprise drives is causing some inconvenience, especially in a small living space. Enterprise drives tend to be louder due to their design and higher rotational speeds.
For a quieter experience, I recommend considering NAS-specific drives like WD Red or WD Red Plus. These drives are optimized for use in NAS systems and are generally quieter compared to enterprise drives. You can check out our comparison article on WD Red, WD Red Plus, and WD Red Pro drives to find the best option that suits your needs.
By switching to quieter NAS drives, you can enjoy a more pleasant and neighbor-friendly experience with your QNAP TS-664 NAS, especially while using it as a Plex server.
You could also consider using 1-2 SSD for OS and apps. And bigger HDD data you don't access very often.
