Why don't you offer the 5400 RPM version (ST8000VN002)?
It would be a little quieter (26 instead of 32 dBA) and, above all, would have almost halved power consumption (5.3 instead of 10.1 W).

As a private user, I am more interested in the power consumption and noise level than the throughput, which is also almost identical!
The only disadvantage I can see: Idle mode has 1 instead of 0.25W. However, since my disc is spinning 24/7 anyway because of Docker, this is not relevant for me.
