Good point. You might be able to disable the chassis fans if you're using all SSDs, but using SSDs will amount to absurdly expensive storage space versus traditional hard drives. Maybe relocating the NAS would be a better idea?

Can I use these in synology nas as storage and not cache? I am tempted to use these because they won't have any noise.

I'm sure it depends on the model but I have a DS418 and the fans on the chassis are far noisier than the platter drives. I think money better spent on cheap disks but also I am 100% sure you can use this as storage in the nas.

It's certainly not $/TB efficient, but Synology does have the DS620Slim that's tailored for 2.5" drives. 6 of these would be 20TB redundant volume in SHR/RAID 5, or 12TB in RAID1.

Use cases over just a normal 3.5" array? Not many, but if you need ultra-quiet, ultra-low power draw, portability, and/or an array that (with care) will likely live a VERY long time, it's an interesting option.

Not good at all for a 4TB drive. Rule of thumb when shopping is you want 600TBW per 1TB capacity. Maybe other WD 'colors' besides blue (black?) are rated better, but not super familiar with the system.

This is an okay deal if you absolutely need exactly 4TB 2.5" drives for some reason (NAS?), but you can regularly get 2TB Crucial MX500's for ~$160 each when they go on sale everywhere, it's not uncommon. Those have 1200 TBW.

I bought this same drive last BF, it dropped dead three months later without any warning.

Then it took WD almost three months to replace it under the RMA! I'm still angry about it.

WD support SUCKS. I recommend getting the 4 TB SanDisk SATA SSD drive that will be a similar price.
