[SOLVED] 8TB ironwolf or N300?

[DZMM]

I've got a choice of 8TB ironwolf or N300 to replace my Seagate archive HDD.  All of my other drives are X300s or N300s and I've had a decent record with them, or tosh have been great with replacements.

 

But, I've heard good things about the ironwolf.  Should I make the switch or stick with Toshiba drives?

 

Thanks for any opinions shared.

I went for the N300 as the reviews said the Ironwolf was quite noisy and I like how my system is quiet even though I'm running 8 HDDs now.  Also, because I think having similar performance drives makes more sense, even if the Ironwolf is 'faster' which I'm not certain it is - and would I even notice anyway!

 

I've also had good experiences with Toshiba's warranty in the UK, so I'm sticking with what I know.
