Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a new hard drive to add to my media server and want to buy a 20TB drive. Now the question is what manufacturers would you recommend or avoid?

As far as I can see it’s either Toshiba, Seagate or WD.

    I have 5 in a Jonsbo N2 itx case and the drives are barely audible, really pleased with them. Well worth the cost at $270 or less. Don’t spend more than that, worth waiting for deals if you can. I walked out the door at $220 each last year, been up 24/7 (with a UPS) and no issues. Would recommend.

    I have 5 WD red pro 16tb in another itx case (N1) and those fuckers are loud despite using the same backplane + rubber slide mount system and a heavier chassis.
