Posted (edited)

I'm more of a Seagate fan but when it comes to larger sizes like 3TB and 4TB if I went with Seagate I would use a Constellation ES but other that the 128MB of cache (with certain models) I am not very comftreble with it and I know of WD Blacks being more common in these situations and since there are not 4tb barracudas (that I'm aware of) or 7200rpm hybrids in 4tb (on pcpartpicker) I then would go with the constellation but like I said is they are not very common so I'm not to sure if that is marketing or just not being good, also sorry this is long.

Plz help,

MRE

Hey MRE Teck,
 
What are you planning on using the 4TB drive for? WD Black is a performance drive with good speeds and long warranty. It can handle both gaming and heavier programs (editing, rendering, content creation, etc.).
 
Higher noise levels are normal for performance drive since higher rpm and intense moving of the read/write head, together with larger amount of physical platters in larger drives all contribute to higher noise levels. There are some ways to reduce the sound with firm mounting of the drive and noise-canceling wrapping of the drive, but a large performance drive would always be a bit louder than a regular smaller one.
