MP 1,1-5,1 HDDs for Mac Pro 5,1

[FrankLS]

I have swapped disks multiple times over the past 14 years and now for the first time I have run into trouble. I have bought a Toshiba MG09 (MG09ACA18TE) 18TB HDD. First problem was, the mount screwholes don't fit the sled. The two close to the connector are fine, but the rear two are ca. 2cm off. I solved this with silicon glue. The second problem was that the HDD emits a low-volume but high-pitched noise, which I found so annoying that I have taken it out again. I will use the HDD for backups in a USB enclosure now.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a large (10TB+) HDD, one that is currently available?

MacPro 5.1 & high capacity hard drives

I've run out of internal storage on my MacPro 5.1. And although I have a 24 bay NAS in the background, I need more high speed storage. I would think my cheapest option would be to upgrade to larger disks, as I currently run 4x2TB in Raid0. Does anyone have experience running larger disk, such...
