Installation is simple as always, connected to the RAID controller runs almost by itself and the identification of disks in Windoze and Linux happens almost immediately.
From the quietness ago I can not say anything because my case is almost soundproof eh, but the experience with my external WD Green 2TB (also a bit older) has shown that they run very smoothly and stable especially.
Data transfer within the computer (ie on a USB stick or an external HDD not) are moderate, somewhere between 60-110 MB / s, with different programs lead to different results, such as the recording program Dxtory describes the plate with constant 90 MB / s , For me perfectly adequate.
Therefore strong buy recommendation.
