It's Oh So Quiet
Reviewed by Tomo. Review Posted 31/12/2009
I'd like to know the disks some of the previous reviewers had since they consider these to be noisy. I partitioned, formatted and loaded four of these disks out of the box and they were virtually inaudible. Admittedly there was a low hum from the 12cm CPU cooler fan but that's quieter than a mouse sneaking into a cat convention. These are the same disks as the Maxtor 1TB but are £5 cheaper so definitely value for money.

What noise?
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 28/11/2009
I found these to be very good drives. They are fast and have been reliable.
I'm running 4 of these. 2 in RAID 0 configuration, and 2 as just normal SATA mode. I've mounted them horizontally in actively cooled quick release bays. Even then I can't say there are any pops,clicks and rattles noises coming from the drives either when idle or under load.

Fine for a NAS
Reviewed by Jerome. Review Posted 14/11/2009
I put 2 of these im my NAS Intel® Entry Storage System SS4200, and will probably add 2 more in 2 months time to complete the box. Indeed there are noisy, but the performance and prices are competitives.
