Question 1

Is this new or refurbished?

Accepted Answer

I believe they are refurbished. I've only been running them for about 2 weeks now and there is no way I've racked up the hour usage being reported.

Question 2

Can you please tell something about the noise level?

Accepted Answer

I have the drive mounted with a noise-suppression setup inside a Be Quiet! Dark Base 700 case.  When sitting on top of a table, you can physically feel the drive start to seek.  It's quite unnerving after years of using whisper quiet SATA hard drives.  Reminds me of my Quantum Bigfoot 5.25" drives from last century, the noise and the physical vibration during seeking.

Question 3

Can you please tell me if these drives are loud? Can I put them in my bedroom?

I plan to put it on the bottom shelf of a computer desk I'm buying today.  We will see how it is away from the area where I hold the mouse.

Question 4

How much is this?

Accepted Answer

What do you mean??  Price?  If price, it's listed if it's in stock.

Question 5

Description shows 14TB drive but the listed part number is for a 12TB drive?

Accepted Answer

This product page has 2 different drives, a 12TB drive and 14TB drive.

The 12TB drive shows with part no. ST12000NM0008

The 14TB drive shows with part no. ST14000NM0018

If you for some reason see something different, then maybe something is wrong on your end.  Did you make sure you had the 14TB drive selected under "Capacity"?
