I am sitting next to a slow RPM SCSI drive right now. It is loud. Beside it is a PC running 2 of the IBM's Quest mentioned. Silent.Someone else has a new highspeed drive out that is supposed to be even quieter. I can't recall if it runs at 7200 or 10,000. I think it's either Seagate or IBM.
It's not
the speed that makes them loud. It's how they are constructed. You want a drive rated for Audio/Video as they are typically fast and quiet. So quiet in fact, it is often mentioned in the sales specs. S
