Hey.
I have a 16TB Toshiba enterprise drive I had to return due to a knocking sound. Bigger drive, bigger parts, 7200 RPM but the fairly loud knocking whenever the drive was doing something was IMO inexcusable for a NAS drive.
I got a WD RED 14TB 5400rpm for £320ish which has done a very good job. Whisper quiet.
I then decided I'll buy another.. and BAM. Out of stick everywhere.
I checked other brands.. and stock all over the place for 14+TB drives seems to be horrible.
Anyone had similar experiencE? Are people now buying external drives instead and takin them out and putting them into deskptops instead? i think they call it 'shucking'?
