  • Regarding NAS loudness volume: I can give you some advice as mine is in my bedroom.Choose quiet drives. I deployed 4x Toshiba N300 15TB He HDDsin RaidZ2Maybe mod the drive cages: Use something like sticly velcro strips (soft side) on all sides that HDD/caddies touch the caddy and case/chassie.Move your intensive access times to late night (4am for example) or when you are at work/gone from home.Use a soft surface. I have placed the NAS on soft foam from packing materials to reduce vibrations.

    Happy storing :)

    Don't think there are much economic options beside finding the cheapest S3 storage or a secondary backup server.
