Which hdd as parity?

[Peppe]

Hi all,

 

im a total newbie to unraid and im planning to go from win10 to unraid in the near future (a week or so :D ). I do have following setup: 2x14TB WD Red (EFFX), 2x10TB WD Red (EFAX), WD Red 1x6TB (EFRX), WD Green 1x3TB (EZRX), WD SA500 1x512GB SSD as cache for Emby and Corsair MP510 (SSD Nvme) 1x2TB for Win10. The WDs are full of movies, shows etc which are streamed via Emby to my clients. I would like to buy a 16 or 18TB drive for parity, and i dont know which one. Somebody "personal" does know the noise level of the 16 or 18TB drives? I would like to have it as quiet as it gets. I dont want to take a parity check, which would last ages...There are no 16-18TB WD Reds. Only the WD Red Pros or Golds which one would be the better choice? I dont care if it will be 100$ +/- i care only a lot about the noise level.

 

Thanks.
