What's the best quiet external HDD for an Xbox one?

I'm thinking of getting an internal and buying an enclosure for it, or just getting a regular external.

What's a good external that's 7200rpm and quiet with lots of storage?

I might buy a Seagate 5tb backup plus, but I hear Seagate fails a lot

None. Never seen an external 7200rpm HDD.

 

I'm thinking of portable drives, oops. Meh, oh well

Simple answer, anything new. Every external drive from toshiba to seagate is pretty much on par with each other. And every drive is going to make noise after some break-in/wear. So your only option would be to get a slower moving drive such as 5000+ rpm drive. Just a fact of a harddrive.

I fix computers and computer accessories... sometimes... when I want to...
