I was unlucky as my system would get audibly loud from ~10 ft away when playing non-X-enhanced games. Playing X-enhanced games meant full jet engine mode similar to the PS4 pro, even though we were promised 'whisper quiet' operation with the X similar to the OG and S systems. I had an OG since launch day and it never made a peep.

The stock drive just doesn't cut it. With 100gb games becoming shockingly normal, the 5400rpm drive is far too slow and although load times were better than my OG system, they're still annoyingly slow for a much more powerful system. Also for some reason my drive was loud, from ~10ft away on the dash I could hear it ticking away and when the system was off and presumably doing auto-updates I would just hear it start ticking. Another issue my OG system never had, it was dead quiet for the 4.5 years I got out of it.
