It's the loudest part of my pc.
Even copying small files or playing a video from it makes so much noise that it's incredible how they can get away with it.
I got a sshd after a while and keeping this as a backup but it's still so annoying when I run a virus scan that it starts being so noisy.
Speed is bad aswell, nothing different from cheaper models. Instead of paying so much for this please just go and buy a sshd which has a way better performance and doesn't make anywhere close to the noise that this one does.
