I’m after two sata hard drives, 1.5tb preferably. These two hard drives will be used for data only. So the first hard drive will be used for data and the second one for backing up the first hard drive. I am willing to spend up to 70£ per hard drive, this is reasonable I believe. My main concerns with the hard drives are noise, I would want silent hard drives, also speeds to be reasonable for data use.

Thanks
