Q: 1. Are they loud and noisy or not bad? I just bought two 12TB Seagate drives for my Drobo 8D and are really clanking and making lots of noise...almost sounds like something is for sure wrong. Thanks

A: Yes, mine are also loud and clanky. My experience with most enterprise products, be it routers, switches, or hard drives, is that they don't care about noise that much -- Just performance and reliability. So I believe what you are experiencing is normal.

A: A WD Gold drive combines the speed and performance (for a mechanical drive) of a WD Black and the reliability and continuous uptime of a WD Red. The WD Gold series is designed for data centers, so it has a long lifespan, fast reads and writes and is capable of being on and used 24/7. These are basically the best drives offered by WD.If you need performance you can go with Black, if you need NAS type reliability and uptime, you can go with Red. I went with Gold to get the best drive I could that provided both of those features.
