Which drive as parity?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

i would like to know, which drive should i use as parity...i bought a while ago a WD Ultrastar DC HC550 (18TB) but this drive was so unbelievably loud, that ive returned it back. My biggest drives are 14TB WD Reds. I try to have my (NAS) as quiet as possible. Now as the parity drive should be bigger as 14TB, i dont know which one to get...all drives above 6TB are 7200rpm only...i do have only 5400rpm drives, or lets say 5400rpm CLASS :D someone have any advice? I dont know about noise of a WD Red Pro, or a WD Gold drive...surely a WD Ultrastar is not on my list now...
