would this fit into this external hard drive docking station ("SABRENT USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD")? also on sale for $23.79

id like to connect it to all my various old laptops and desktops and back everything up, would the connectors just fit or is it going to be a hassle because these are server hard drives and have some weird connectors that wont fit a normal mainstream consumer external hd docking station like the one i linked above

Some say so loud it forced a return.
Some say only loud on heavy load.
Some blame users mounting solution.
Some suggest you will never sleep again.
And some say it's well within the range of acceptable and jab at others who say otherwise
I spent serious time trying to figure out a consensus but not seemed to show itself.
Buy and try seems to be the case
Any enterprise drive is going to be "louder" compared to a consumer drive, but much of that still has to do with application.
Mounting these directly to metal with no isolation in a metal box that is right next to where you sleep and you're 22 with hearing? That's gonna be a bad time.
If you mount these to plastic drive sleds with rubber isolation grommets, etc and have it in the room next door, they're fine. Seeks are a little loud but they're really not much worse than most consumer drives IMO.

I've also used WD Data Lifeguard in the past, which will work on any drive as long as you have a WD one somewhere on your system. Since these ARE WD, you're already good.
But Victoria is no hassle and has a lot of scan options.
