Good day!

I'm setting up a server that will primarily run plex. I've got a beelink eq12 pro, and will use a TerraMaster D4-300. The setup will be in my living room so I am trying to minimize the sound, and therefore am trying to figure out what the best hard drive would be to suit this purpose. Some research says that the WD Ultrastar fits this purpose. The storage capacity can be compromised on to ensure silence if needed. I am in the Netherlands. Thanks in advance!
