I have both the Black and the Red. The Black is the noisiest drive Ive ever had, apart from maybe those old humming Samsungs. The Black vibrates strongly, and is also noisy when active (especially writing). The Red is much quieter, but still makes the typical hard drive noises when it is active. Wh...

Here's some poorly shot photos of the new job.

The past few WD Blue and Blacks I've had have been noisy, mostly vibration which leads to resonance, or the 2TB Black actually made the floor vibrate. Greens and Reds are both very quiet. Seagate's Desktop.15 (and therefore the Seagate NAS) is quiet as far as idle noise, but accessing noise tends t...
