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 purchase some Seagate HDD, but was left with the feeling that I regretted buying them. as they are quite noisy.

I would go for WD red, when I get new HDD.

They are sitting in the basement, noise is not a concern. Why WD red?
