We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Me and a friend want to build a plexserver and need help for finding the right hdd. It needs to be a quiet one because it's standing in my bedroom. Do you guys have any recommendations for 14tb+ HDD's that are as quiet as possible?

You want an SSD if you want it to be quiet, but an SSD of that size will be very expensive.

That's exactly the problem
