I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

In my build in the Fractal Design Define 7 case, only hard drives are audible.
I bought this drive based on the positive experience of operating the ST2022VN004.
As a result, the ST4000VN008 has a distinct head banging on startup, and is generally noisier than the neighboring ST2022VN004.
Let's look at the reliability of the disk, but there is experience with a colleague ST2022VM003 - it lasted for 4 years, then fell down.

Pros

CMR. Price, relative to the main competitor WD Red.

Cons

Noisier than I expected - according to the performance characteristics, the ST4000VN008 (4 TB) model is only slightly noisier than its counterpart ST2022VN004 (2 TB), but in real life the noise level is noticeably different.
