[rescue] Thoughts on system noise...

[Shawn Wallbridge]

I just picked up a 15k rpm Cheetah and I was expecting to add a couple more
fans to my machine to keep it cool, but I was surprised to find that it
doesn't really run that hot. Not nearly as hot as the 10k Cheetah I had at
work.

I also expected it to be much louder, but again it has surprised me. It's
loud, but not that loud. My older Atlas IV is louder.

But it is nice and fast.

In general, my old drives are all pretty loud.  The 1 gig drive in my IPX
(brand forgotten) is pretty reasonably.  Of never drives, like from the
past 7-8 years (for instance all the 2 gig IDEs I still have and use), the
only really irritating one is my Barracuda 4 4.3gig drive.  My Barracuda
2gig SCA drive is quite though.

What do people think of the volumes of other Baracuda 4s?  What about the
4XL?
They are fairly fast disks, a lot more reliable that Cheetahs (which are
fine
if you are very careful with cooling), and I generally like ones I have,
except for the volume of the one.  I'm not sure how I could deal with
sitting
next to a couple of 4-16 drive arrays if they all sound like the loud one.
