Review on High-Performance Enterprise HDD: WD Gold WD101KRYZ 10TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM by Adam Woniak ᠌

Let's make a remark that this HDD is a server one and you should not expect silence from it. Speed ​​200/200 Stands in a home PC, almost silent system. There is also a WD RE sata 2 on 1tb, it is also a server one, but less noisy and a little faster response after parking than WD GOLD on 2TB. It is worth announcing the factor that in a good steel case, vibration will be less felt. In my Thermaltake Versa U21, I have thin aluminum walls and no noise. So comparing with WD Blue - the subject is noticeably noisier and starts longer after sleep. There are no complaints about the disk, I took it purely for storing home archives of photos and software, I took it just to replace WD Blue, whose reading speed dropped over 8 years of operation and one day it just started to fall off, like a disk without a file system. By the way, WD RE has had no problems for 12+ years, which became the decisive factor for Gold.
