Hello ! I have a custom build NAS currently using 4x6TB hard drives in RAID10. I am looking for a capacity upgrade. My main focus are low power consumption and low noise (the NAS is in my living room / home office).

I can't seem to find any 5400RPM HDD over 8TB in capacity anywhere. Is there any model with 10, 12 or more TB in existence ? If not, what could be the reasons ?

My old Dell Optiplex would spin the drives up and then shut them off in a constant cycle and it drove me bonkers. I agree a consistent noise is better than no noise some of the time.
