A bit noisy, but sounds very futuristic.. :) Here you can listen to it, I've done the comparison with Seagate Iron Wolf 4tb: https://youtu.be/rWz6tDBY_Kg

I have 4 of these now they are great. good to have the massive amount of storage.

Other reviews mentioned how noisy these drives are compared to "standard" drives. Really I haven't noticed it, in fact I'd say they're about the same. Maybe it's down to workload? But given the value for money on these drives, and their 5 year warranty, I think they're basically perfect.

I bought this to replace the two 3TB drives in my computer. Reviews stated that it was a "noisy drive" but its not any noticeably noisier than my existing drives. It is however, MUCH faster. copying it was sitting on about 50% utilisation, while the old drive was sitting on 100%. great drive, glad i updated
