Massive 18 TB hard drive. A bit noisy, but not unexpected, given how many platters must be inside of it.

Huge storage, quick access, stylish and loud. If you need the terabytes and have bad hearing, this one is for you.

This product was purchased to be used as a backup drive for my Apple computer via time machine. Massive clicking sound from the beginning when the disks were turning inside the drive. After reading a lot of reviews to see if this was normal, I found out several reviews report the same issue. Returned without issues. On a side note bought the 12 TB (smaller drive) and it did not have any noise or issues.
