Good high spin performance

They're significantly louder than my old 4TB Reds, but they seem to be a bit better in terms of performance. My NAS used to fit easily in my media cabinet, but now it's so noisy I have to move it somewhere else. Mostly vibration and search sounds. I think it's a compromise to keep a 4-bay NAS, but it requires more space. If I started from scratch, I would end up with more bays and smaller, quieter drives.

Pros
