Greetings all: I recently purchased and installed a 25GB IBM Travelstar HD to replace the original 2GB in my Wallstreet. The 25GB is model # DARA - 225000. Specs at:
http://www.wegenermedia.com/dara.htm The new drive is fast and big, but it's LOUD! I know it's not one of the new fluid dynamic bearing models, but it's louder than the 4 year old drive it replaced. HD spinning (no drive access) is about the same, if not quieter, but it makes a heck of a racket when reading or writing. Can anyone else who has installed this drive confirm that the volume level is normal, or do I have a lemon? The new drive has a 2000 date on it which I presume is normal. _________________________________________________________________ Internet access plans that fit your lifestyle -- join MSN. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
