Was supposed to be a joke. But is probably accurate.
I would be more likely to use a non refurb for important files. Makes way more sense to go with one of the $79 12tb refurb for games since if it does fail an need warrantied; you lose nothing.
I was expecting to find this is a dual drive with a small ssd like cache to hold things. But it's got less cache than some of the other drives. The black line used to be cute because it was like 1/8th faster than a normal drive. But ssd left these drives in the dust an made the small speed look useless. I don't see anything mentioning it's got new fancy bells an whistles on it. Other than the new black paint job

"According to Western Digital, their Black hard drives have a noise level of 20 decibels when idle and 36 decibels when operating."
Can't find the specs, but
This not 100% scientific controlled video "Western Digital UltraStar HDD Noise Level Test"; shows the 10tb hgst pretty much stays around relative 20db at all Times. .
This page" Western Digital Black 8TB HDD Review: Not Back in Black ". Does show a 2x speed increase over the hgst tho. That's possible not real world indicative as the later testing shows sustain does show a 1.5x or so. An they are using benchmarks an not loading games or media. Which almost never can be relied upon. It still give sit a bad review simply cause ssd is so fast (if you have a good ssd thats not some fake ssd speeds. My dell takes like 5-15 minutes to load r6. So some ssd (1-7%) are almost just the name" ssd" or nvme") . I don't think on my old computer there was a load time on anything an i would edit games to remove the forced intro credits to double it's boot speed. An those were some of the first ssd. Always use a ssd for boot if you can an if you have enough room keep the one game you play constantly on it if worried about speed.

Based on your post, I'm wondering how loud this WD Black HDD is going to be at idle and when it spins up.
