I think most recent drives have an acoustic management feature that should improve this. There was an article in the german \"c\'t magazin\" about enabling it. Don\'t know if this is enabled by default under Linux and if not if there is an easy way to enable it. It does cost some performance though, so for a DAW it might be better to have the computer in another room than the desk/monitors. --martijn Powered by ASHosting
