Not buying so don't know if this works here, but it's handy to know about.
On the subject of these drives though, at 7200rpm enterprise drives they're probably somewhat loud, and reviews seem to confirm that. They're intended to be in racks in a server farm where you won't hear them over the din of fans running. If you're buying these for a NAS, I'd only do that if your NAS is somewhere you can't hear it.

there are other CMR drives better equipped for home use, like the red plus. they are quieter and cooler. unless you are running a bunch of virtual machines or running some kind of heavy I/O database, the red plus and ironwolf drives are better suited for home use.
having said that, these are so cheap that it's hard to pass on them even if you are looking for quiet drives. i ended up buying 8.
Plus this seems better for my use case with constant recordings. I will just do RAID 1 as I intended to with the 14tbs as it's plenty of storage and I don't want to deal with the hassle of recovery if 1 drive goes out (it seems soo much easier with raid 1)
