if you watch from the beginning you can get a sense of noise level and such on X18 series.

Just as a heads-up, if you're using Windows (and NTFS) and a partition manager program to clone your existing (less than 16 TB drive), you'll likely see that the partition software won't create a partition larger than 16 TB on the new drive. This is due to the partition software also copying the (default) 4096 cluster size from the source drive, and you can't have an NTFS partition >16 TB with that default cluster size. Instead, use Windows built-in partition handling, and it'll automatically choose the next cluster size up (8000-something). You'll then get the full partition size, and just use robocopy with the copy options you want to copy from old drive to new drive.
