All these review links are great.
But, it would be even better if our own SPCR reviewed some of these.

Re: Quiet 2TB HD with blended performance
I am sure that the HD204UI is a fine drive. That being said, I am looking for a drive that has better access times. Hence the ~5900 RPM drives that I mentioned.

Quiet 2TB HD with blended performance
I'm looking to upgrade my rig with 2 x 2TB hard drives, from 4 x 1TB hard drives, due to a lack of SATA ports. The prior drives are 4 x Samsung Spinpoint F1s (HD103UJ). I have liked them quite a bit, and since they are 7200RPM drives yet have been quite quiet (at least for their time), it's sad to s...

So what are you using it for? I am using the CEM DT-8852 primarily for measuring highway noise on the other side of the street from my new place, in order to compare the noise levels with the official measurements from the highway authority as they are discussing expanding the sound wall. This mean...

Just wanted to resurrect this thread. I am looking for a new sound meter, and would like one that goes down to at least 30dBA. Ideally I would like one that can be hooked up to a PC to record the results (this eliminates some of the cheapest models, like the Nady DSM-1). Of the ones on the list: Min...

Just to join the fray, I picked one of these up from NewEgg recently and have been having many of the problems mentioned in this thread. I can definitely hear the chirp/whine at high framerates, as well as when games load (perhaps correlated with loading lots of textures). The first time I ran 3DMar...

Thanks all. I am currently using the fabric elastic (from Jo-Anns), and it seems to be working all right. I picked up some rubber & polypropylene elastic cord as well, just in case. At this point, two of the three WD5000AAKS drives are working just fine. One WD5000AAKS has a distinct but very low vo...

How about shock cord, aka bungee cord or elastic cord? A lot of systems on the pics thread show bungee or elastic cords.
I see that 1/8" diameter shock cord (used for tent poles) is at REI for about 15¢ per foot.
And what about the longevity of clothing elastic?

HDD suspension: best elastic material?
What is the best elastic material for use with HDD suspension? I have been trying to silence several hard drives (3 Western Digital WD5000AAKS, 1 Samsung HD103UJ) in a Cooler Master Cosmos RC-1000 case following this method: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=448385 , which uses St...
