2-3TB HDD replacement

[19_blackie_73]

Hi there,
 

long story short my 2TB Seagate ST2000DM006 left me in shortly under one year of ownership, with a lot of reallocated sectors, low readings for current pending sector counts and a good amount of uncorrectable sectors.
The shop i bought it from will send me a replacement, that part is sorted. THOUGH

I'm not paritcularly keen in using the same drive type again, and it isn't the most silent drive ever. So I'm thinking of selling the replacement drive as new, so not much loss on that front and getting another type of 2-3 TB drive. reason for a bigger one is that I potentially could also sell my 1TB that I have too, and replace it with one bigger drive or maybe later down the line get another ssd for the important docs and use a 3TB for music, photos and video production.
I'm thinking about getting something in the likes of a seagate ironwolf or wd red, how about the noise level of them? any other recommended drives? I'd like to stay sub 100€ (the lower the better, but not on cost of quality) for 3TB drives and I'll be buying from mindfactory.de.

I use to use WD Red 3TB 5400RPM drives and find they're fairly quiet. They don't produce massive amounts of vibration. I expect if you buy a 7200RPM variant it may be a bit louder.

 

I've been using a Seagate Ironwolf drive for mass storage and I haven't found it that loud (although I didn't test it in a dead silent room so take that with a grain of salt).
