I have three of the SP1614C drives (the SATA version) and find that they are silent when idle, but I hear some vibrational noise when they are writing. I use xfs on lvm over raid-5, and for some reason the drives seem to seek a lot. But they are still pretty darn quiet. Have people found that lining the sides of the case (on the inside) with felt or something like that makes a big difference? I hope they come out with a 200G version, as I have room for one more...
