Faster hard drives are generally more noisy than the slower ones, that means that newer hard drives are not necessarily quieter.... If you buy "Cheetah" drives or the ones with high rotation speed and lower latency, you also get more noise..... If you want silent drives you should buy 2.5" drives with the lowest possible rotation speed, meaning the slowest possible drives ==:-O Regards Harald N -- haraldo Suse Linux / SC7 -> SB3 -> Benchmark DAC1 -> Krell KAV400xi -> Meadowlark Kestrel2 Everything is difficult before it's easy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43319 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
