Hello ! I have a custom build NAS currently using 4x6TB hard drives in RAID10. I am looking for a capacity upgrade. My main focus are low power consumption and low noise (the NAS is in my living room / home office).

I can’t seem to find any 5400RPM HDD over 8TB in capacity anywhere. Is there any model with 10, 12 or more TB in existence ? If not, what could be the reasons ?

    It wasn’t so bad that it would sleep while watching a movie. But it didn’t take long to power down after we were done. It was totally noiseless while not in use. And while watching a movie or recording one it was still very quiet.
