I think storage review (on enterprise products) preconditions the drives for a while before testing, and they might be kinda full for testing?
Serve the home also tests against a moderately full SSD. But that's their only set of data.

Interesting ... Eyeball linger time?
Gotta turn the labhouse into a labhome
I wonder if the big copper heatsinks are worth more than the CPUs
They are used right? That's a good but realistic price for a 5+ year old retired enterprise 8tb drive.
Run extended smart tests on em.
Back in the 90s I had an IBM 5500rpm (fast for the time) drive that was very fast but had a continuous reeeeeee sound while on
Cascade is for if you have a special service provision from AT&t. Possibly static IPs, possibly something else.
IP pass through is what you use for a typical consumer connection where you just want to forward all of the ports directly to your desired router. And I use that and it works fine
I think I remember having to reboot both the AT&t box in my router a couple of times to make the IP pass through really stick. Also, I possibly had to manually assign the Mac address rather than use some sort of auto detections scheme
I would check the logs on the ASUS router to see if any traffic is coming to it.
I would suspect the quieter at idle is because of helium.
I have both drives and can confirm the old bruisers are pretty loud.
Drives are going to be a little louder doing a random workload than when idle or doing sequential work
