Dear Frank, the noise is almost like the one coming from the IDE 7200 and
10000 ... it is a matter of manufacturer technology IMHO.
IBM makes them very silent (if related to Quantum and Maxtor) ... the real
problem I have found is with the 36GB .... it is a heater !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...
thus I have added a fan below the disk ... it stores itself below the disk
in the same bay ... and I have solved the problem to have messages of
warning since 3 months ago when I have installed firstly.
The 18GB seems to be ''cooler''.
The sustained transfer rate benchmarked weekly is for all of them 29MB/s.
They are 3 and sharing the same SCSI path.
Sincerely.
Ezio
