Still there is not a single program which would really need that much ram, unless it's terribly written.
Unless you want to run multiple virtual operating systems, 32Gig is more then enough for everything.

Each HDD has an option to reduce some of it's performace for better noise aquistic. This option is disabled in every WD Black HDD.

Doesn't really matter you still don't wan't to double your TDP for a bit better single core performance.
