I am looking for a really silent HD for in my nasserver. It stands in the living room so it cant make noise. It should be like 1 or 2 tb.

What do you guys recomment?

If held on hand to remove all vibration the difference in pitch and loudness between the WD GP 1TB and Samsung F1 1TB isn't that great from what I can tell.
So as long as you buy a case or HDD enclosure (internal/external) with rubber gourmet mounts for the HDD the noise difference shouldn't be that great once closed up.
