(no shucking)linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoLooking purely at your specs posted, I’d probably lean towards WD, mainly because it has a higher cache. In terms of experience, I have an Ironwolf Pro 18TB, and some WD 20TB Red Pros. The Ironwolf is noticeably louder than the other drives and often/frequently does a sound as if there’s heavy activity on the disk. This is something to consider if you will have these drives in the same room as you. linkfedilink
