Finding the right balance between quiet and fast isn’t always easy. I love the open concept of my condo, but it means that sound travels and is not easily concealed. Fortunately, these drives are the tight balance of noise to speed. I need my drives to be fast, especially for data heavy media such as 4K films. I need my data to be quiet because my media servers are in the same room as my projector. I don’t have to crank up the volume on my home theatre to drown out the sound of the chugging drives with BarraCuda Pro drives. I currently have about 100 TB of storage distributed on 11 drives. The BarraCuda Pro are my absolute favourite when it comes to marrying size, speed and quiet.

Drive isn't totally silent, but for a 7200 rpm 10TB drive, it's very quiet. Speed is great. I've only had it a few weeks, so it's a bit early to talk about reliability.

These fill the bill in all my areas of concern, including high speed, low noise and especially low temperature.

I bought this HDD for backup and to replace my older drives, and it's fast! It has a nice price to size ratio. Moreover, it's a CMR drive (as before), that means it is much faster and more reliable.

Great, well priced drive!
