Question Replacing two old WD drives in a NAS box ?

[Manubj]

Hi,

I have a Synology 718+ NAS with one RE4-GP (WD2000FYYZ) and one RE (WD2000FYYZ).

I am very satisfied with them, but I need more capacity and would like to replace them with two 4 TB drives. I am hesitating: if I buy two RED PRO 4TB drives (WD4005FFBX or WD4003FFBX), will the noise be noticeably louder when watching movies? My main concerns for my next hard drives are noise levels and reliability under low-stress (but on H24) use.

Thanks in advance !

Manu

How close do you sit to the NAS that sound level is important?!
Other than possible vibrations that you could counter with shock absorbing hdd mount parts, there should be very little sound making it out of the case.

We sit about 2 meters from the NAS.

shock absorbing hdd mount parts, well that's an idea, thank you.

I have 3 Western digital 18TB and 1 6TB red pro drives in my computer, they are in hot swap sleds in the font of the case, and can hear them at all.
