The WDC drives I buy are all 5400rpm or so, and not noisy. Every one of the four WDC 8TB drives is working perfectly thus far, as are my much much older 2TB, 3TB, and 4TB WDC Green drives that I use for various oddball purposes.

There are still three working Seagate 4TB drives in a backup array here that have vastly outlived their 8TB cousins.

Spinning rust is only used for non-critical stuff here: media files and secondary backups. All of our boot/system/working drives are SSDs, and have been for much of the past 10 years.

EDIT: Heck, I recently picked up a small stack of 120GB SSDs at CAD$30 each, to use (with an adapter cable) in place of similarly priced (and MUCH slower) USB sticks!
