Are you sure it is the drives making all the noise?
If so, stepping down to 10k RPM drives may help, though if they are already 10k drives you are pretty much stuck.

I have a Sun Ultra Enterprise 2 sitting under my desk, as a free gift
from my company due to lack of use. Nothing great, but it has 2 network cards, dual processor, and 1G memory. Only problem is that it has 2 SCSI drives that are so noisy that people from across the passage came to see
what was going on the first time I started it up.

Is it possible to get a relatively quiet SCSI drive that wouldn't be a
noise polluter sitting under my desk? And if so, what should I be
looking for? I don't need anything large ... just enough to get a basic
Linux or BSD server running.
