I'm looking at the Crucial BX500 1TB SSD for media storage purposes (can't stand the noise of HDD) which is close to RM500. Anything cheaper or of better value?

The 2.5" 5400rpm HDDs?

The biggest culprit is my WD Black 1TB followed by my newly bought Toshiba N300 4TB. Both exhibit this constant "humming" noise even after being dampened by my Fractal R6. It's the HDD making the noises because after I unplugged them my pc became dead silent. I think the constant noise are the "operational noise" of the HDD spinning.

I could replace my WD Black 1TB with a cheap 1TB SSD but what am I going to do with the 4TB HDD? I considered turning the 4TB drive into an external HDD and place it further away from my desk and just connect to my PC via USB 3.0 cable..

It's not the front door panel for sure. It's not rattling and not much vibrations actually.

Thanks! A little worried about the heat management as the place I put my router is lacking ventilation.

I sit right next to the PC actually. The case actually manage to dampen a lot of the high frequency noise, now what's left is the lower frequency.

I'm using the ASUS RT 68U router. Getting 3 out of 4 bars from 5Ghz. Speed test result: 180-200 Mbps DL, 350 Mbps UL, 6ms ping. My Internet ISP is Time rated at 800Mbps

p/s: I just remembered that I installed several games on the HDD lol. Is it possible to play it over WiFi or over USB 3.0 cable (if I decide to turn my HDD into an external drive and connect to pc via cable)?
