Part of it is that new drives are designed with minimal acoustic levels as a requirement. The other part of it is that drives get louder as they age. Over time, the bearings in the drive will wear and get louder. It happens so gradually that you don't really notice it until one day you think "damn, that drive is loud". -- maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43319 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
