A bit noisy on head movements, but otherwise pretty quiet. Fast. Big. They are being used to hold/serve the video collection here now.

EDIT: They are actually WDC branded drives, not Hitachi.
Specifically: WDC WUH721414ALE6L4 Ultrastar "Data Center HDD"

I got them on a deep discount in 2019; current price here is CAD$500/each.


Sigh.. It appears one can no longer blindly rely upon WD drives:

The 14TB Ultrastars I got last year appear to have been superseded in the market by very similar SMR drives -- STAY AWAY!

The Arts Technica link above does have this useful tidbit for WD RED/NAS drives: Avoid those with an EFAX suffix. The "good" drives are those with the older EFRX suffix.
