I really like them but they are loud (my case is very open though) I cannot comment on how loud the Barracuda Pro drives are, but I imagine being a 7200RPM performance hard drive it would be similar. Just get the cheaper one.

Posted April 25, 2019 The Barracuda and the Black perform about the same, you should get the cheapest of the two. The Blue is slower, I'd avoid it.

WHICH HAS THE BEST TECHNOLOGY AND MATERIAL QUALITY? Fairly sure the answer will be the same as above. They are the same drives you're asking about earlier, just now one is 8TB instead of 6TB. Even if they bumped cache or something, you won't notice a thing. You realize they're just hard drives right? Material quality will be the same, no carbon fiber or advanced nanocell technology.
