NAS Noise Levels - What Makes a NAS Noisy?

What is the Best Low Noise NAS to Buy https://nascompares.com/top-5-silent-...

The popularity of network attached storage in the last few years has truly been game-changing in its speed. NAS has become one of those things that no-one needed and now most people cannot imagine living without. We create so much data, in both our personal and work lives, and this data has to live somewhere that is both safe, yet easy and accessible. Although third-party cloud platforms such as Google Drive and Dropbox are still popular, they work out considerably more expensive over time and the best long-term choice has always been your own personal NAS server in the home or office.

Silent NAS and Noisy Hard Drives – Important
Before we discuss the quietest NAS of 2018, it is important to highlight that even a silent NAS will have to factor in the noise of the hard drive or SSD Media you install inside. It is a relatively reliable fact that the bigger the hard drive capacity, the more noise it is going to make. This is because larger capacity hard drives feature more internal platters to store the data. These platters spin constantly and the reading arm inside the drive is constantly moving between them. Although this noise is very, very low, once you install several drives at once, this noise can multiply and therefore make the ‘silent’ qualities of a NAS a tad redundant. Therefore it is worth mentioning that if you want a truly silent NAS, then you will need to consider SSD Media in your network attached storage device. Though it is still currently three to five times more expensive than traditional hard drive Media per terabyte, if Silence is what matters to you then you will need to purchase SSD drives.
