Well there's the spec sheet but honestly I don't know how to read it well enough to give you an answer Stick Out Tongue

https://documents.westerndigital....ro-hdd.pdf

I know if you scroll down to the accoustics/dBA section under the environmental part it says 20 when idel and 36 when seeking.. I don't know enough about dBA to tell you how loud that would be.

There's a reddit thread here

https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/...ence_14tb/

where one person says " Red Plus is significantly quieter than Red Pro and also runs cooler. Downside is they are slightly slower than Red Pro, only go up to 14tb and are only recommended for use up to 8 drives."

This is all stuff I just found randomly on the internet hopefully someone with actual experience with Red Pro and Plus can jump in and give you a more definitive answer instead Smilie
What's the T-website?
They don't allow to mention the name of those $back website. You need to search for it. The first three letters of the name is "top"

Oof. The Golds are still $320 a pop.

I don't mind the noise as they're in a storage room, but I haven't seen the Golds go on sale in a couple years or so. Do I jump on these rather than wait any longer? They'd be paired with four Golds in RAID 6.

I got six 16Tb Golds from above deal, I had also 10% cashback then. So ended up being $225 per drive plus tax. Excellent drives performance wise, transfer rates are excellent, but indeed loud. I have them in QNAP NAS so noise does not bother me too much.

I know, there is no time machine, so current deal is still a great deal for current pricing situation

with 34% 1 star reviews on that seller, it would be a risk for me to buy from them. Just reading some of the reviews, people get used or there wrong product at least 1/3 of the time.

Sometimes when something seems too good to be true, there is a reason. If this was sold by Amazon, sure, I would consider it, but a store with 34% 1 star reviews most talking about how the "new" item was really used? No thanks.
If you were to somehow get a refurb or used HDD in place of a new one, just report it to Amazon, and you can either return it or you may have a free used HDD. Pretty low risk to me.

On top of that, the next seller is selling it for $205, still lower than the $440 for two HDD's on this deal. Doesn't seem 'too good to be true'

That's a great price if the vendor really delivers the goods.

It is way below market price so I have doubts. I wonder if it has full manufacturers warranty.

It's now being sold by Technology Traders. I need a HDD for backing up [raw] photos and mp4s so I won't be using the HDD often. This should be okay, right?

Read the seller's reviews. Personally for me, if it's not sold by or at least shipped by Amazon, I'm hesitant.

Bought this deal and been running these in a Synology DS224+ since January. Just popped them in and followed the prompts to install DSM OS.

I used them a couple of years ago for Philips LatteGo, and it was a chase to get the purchas registered and paid out on there.
I've had much better luck with R-Q-tin or the Beepoo site.

Here's the specs for the plus:

https://documents.westerndigital....us-hdd.pdf

Based on this:
https://rechneronline.de/log-scale/decibel.php
And 29 vs 32 (seek dBA)
The pros are 0.413 times louder than the pluses, or IOW the pluses are .708 as loud as the pros.

I haven't had many issues, ie i've used them multiple times, there was twice where i had to manually ask for the credit but it was always given
