cheaper in my location
Any objections?
Just make sure you have adequate cooling, because 7,200RPM drives tend to run a bit warmer.

EDIT: do those drives support TLER/ERC? If not, that could bite you at some point.

I'm thinking of changing the WD 3.5" Red NAS 6TB WD60EFRX 64M SATA3 HDDs to HGST 6TB Deskstar 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive MFR # 0S03839 https://www.hgst.com/products/hard-drives/nas-desktop-drive-kit
Lower seek time, 128mb cache, 7200RPM, Rotational Vibration Sensor, 24/7 availability, cheaper in my location
Any objections?
I have used the HGST drives (smaller capacity, same type) in one of my previous builds. They worked great except for the heat. They run cooler than the Western Digital Enterprise Capacity drives that I had in another build though. If you have enough air flow, it won't be a problem, but you need to monitor the temp of the drives through the SMART status on a regular basis.

There are good scripts to use to monitor the SMART temps. And with the newer Supermicro boards you can even run fan controller scripts which can dial up/down your hd and cpu fans in response to hd/cpu temps, etc, which can help with noise.

I'll definitely look into the scripts you have mentioned it gets warm here during the summer. I too am a sucker for Noctua products :D
