I just realized today after 20 years that my computer stopped making noises.

It's progress but I miss those clicking sounds.

I've got 16 3.5" hard drives whirring and chugging next to me. I do not miss the sounds. If I could afford the same setup with SSDs I'd do it in a heartbeat. The heat is another story.

My home NAS is 4U 45 3.5" drives 200 TB NAS with a bunch of 1U screaming fans, periodic clicking, and lots of power consumption.
