Sorry, I was thinking of EIDE's. True BIOS does not have it (at least not
on my machine).

Of course, you will not get 0dB, but almost noiseless can be obtained. It is
just a matter of d

Oh, I'm aware of that - but it doesn't work with SCSI disks, AFAIK, as
the BIOS spin down only go

He recently did a hard drive comparison that among other things compares noise levels
generated by
the drives.

Hm, I'm still wondering how/if any machine with a spinning hard drive in
it can be noiseless - with my machines, in three out of four cases the
drives make more
