No, basically all rackmount gear (especially 1-2 height units) which dissipates nontrivial power is loud, since it has to maintain air flow, which at small geometries means high-rpm and high-pitched noise. I've just hauled a 3U Supermicro chassis from my office, where it has been running for a couple weeks into a server room, where such systems belongs. The only way to deal with that is watercooling, or operating the thing out of your earshot (cellar, etc). There are large enclosures with large, slow-moving fans which are suitable for the living room, but I doubt you can miss 16-24 drives in action. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
