With The Code PEACHY15 I get this message Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again.
Are you an eBay plus member? If not, then that is probably why it's not working for you.
What sandman28 said- Plus members only. I did the same thing and then signed up.
Anyone running these can comment on the amount of noise they make? Idle, reading and writing?
I usually get WD red because they run at 5400rpm and also got burnt by the dm001 debacle, but have read Seagate have picked up their game.
Can you describe what’s happening on your WD red? I’m struggling which brand to pick
I picked reds (3tb and 6tb models) because they run cool and silent. No issues with them, though 1 out of the 4 reds I have used has died to running out of re-allocatable sectors. That's over a period of about 5 years, so not bad really.
I have read and heard the 8tb red are noisy when reading and writing which is a factor for me because of the physical location the drives are used. Hence my question about noise levels.
Both drives are hella loud when writing unfortunately.
They are a little noiser than the 6tb red drives but in terms of noise they are still a fairly quiet drive
You will probably notice the difference initially but after that probably not
I bought this one 3 weeks ago and its have much less noise than my old WD hd
a tick cheaper here https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/8TB-Seagate-NAS-HDD-IronWolf-3-5…
