It's nice and quiet, and seems really similar to the CS so I'm happy with it.

....and it contained a WD10EAVS hard drive

I've never heard of this drive nor can i find any reference to it

I'm a little confused. I was under the impression that there were only two WD 1TB drives the WD10EACS and the RAID version?

Thanks Andy.

I think that I will review to potentially change to a DLNA box instead. The problem is trying to work out how noisy these NAS boxes are!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah tbh speed of it sucks donkey balls - it is poor. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/component/option,com_nas/Itemid,190/chart,15/ It's the worst in that whole test in fact. I could go for the plain 407 (non-e version) which is much better. I do have my heart set on a dedicated...

After recently losing a 1TB drive, I have decided that it's time for some RAID 5 action 8) So... After some research I've decided to go with Synology CS407e and 4 x 1TB Western Digital GP's (WD10EACS) I'm looking for the least power consumption and quietest - so I'm guessing that the GP's would be t...

I have found this drive for £135

I was wondering what drive it contains? Will it be a SATA 5400rpm Green power? i.e the same as the internal SATA drives?

It's just a Bad description

Hi, I’m trying to decide if I should buy a 1TB Samsung F1, or a Western Digital GP. Ideally it would be Samsung F1, but I’m not sure about the noise. I currently have 3 x WD WD5000KS drives and I would not like anything noisier than then to be honest. Does anybody have any subjective experiences...

Thank you for that detailed answer - I think that I am going to bite the bullet and get two of them.

This is a really long thread!

Can anybody kindly summarise the situation with the 1tb F1 drives? Is there a known problem with them or are they safe to buy?

Thanks for that mate!

I've just ordered one of these drives. Which software is good to scan it for errors? I want to scan it before putting any data on it. Thanks

Stretch Magic FTW!

I was wondering how it's possible to run a CPU without a fan. Temperature issues aside, How does it POST becasue the CPU fan needs an RPM reading from the fan.

Hi, I've ordered some new fans... 3 x Nexus 120mm 2 x Nexus 92mm They are to go with my Antec Solo and Asus P5k-E motherboard. I hear about people running them slower than their 12v v default (9v, 7v and 5v). How can I do this? Is it best to buy one of those 5.25" bay fan controllers, or even some f...

I thought that was just the NAS box's?

I'm looking for a 1TB SATA drive and saw this: Click Me Does anyone know if this will ship with a single WD 1TB GP drive inside? Is it a WD10EACS or a WD1000FYPS? The idea being that I can open it up and put the drive inside my PC and effectivly get a free external USB enclure. Has anyone done this?

Read this today: Looks like a real winner :D HITACHI has announced a 500GB capacity hard drive intended for 2.5-inch applications such as gaming consoles, laptops and compact desktops.

Has anybody spotted these in the wild yet? I have seen they they can be pre-ordered on Komplett and overclockers, but I can't seem to see any in stock anywhere?

Have they simply not yet filtered through the channel yet?

How did you buy them? were they expensive?

Please share your thoughts on your subjective opinion on how they sound if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah my hard disks are suspended, so they are as quiet as they are gonna get i suppose.

If I buy a fan controller, how does it work? Do the fans hardwire to the controller itself? Are these the fan controllers that go into a 5.25" bay at the front?

Cheers

Hi, I currently use in My Antec Solo Case 1x120mm (rear) and 2x92mm (front) fans. all are Antec tri-cool's set to the lowest speed setting. How ever, I can still hear them (i think! not sure if its the hard drives) Anyway, I was thinking about replacing them with something like the Nexus Real Silent...

Hi, I was wondering if there is anything that cools an 8800GTX that is quieter than the stock fan. Since I replaced my 7900GS with Zalman Vf900, it's clearly the loudest part of my system. I must say that for a stock cooler the 8800GTX is pretty good compared to other cards noise levels, but it's no...

Thanks guys.

I just ordered 5 meters of 1.0mm Stretch Magic from ebay (£3 in del). It will arrive on Tuesday so I'll see how it goes.

I am currently runninng 1 Samsung P80 and 2 WD caviars and I am getting what I can only describe as a 'pulsing hum' It is a very regular phased sound, every couple of seconds or so. After a lot of scratching my head and pulling out parts, I have determined that this is definitely the problem. What I...

Thank you - the Enermax Liberty is the one that ticks all the boxes!

Modular
Quiet
32A
500W
< £65

Perfect!

Thanks again.

Thank you for the suggestion but there are two things wrong with that PSU. It only has 2 SATA cables (i have 4 drives) and also it seems too noisy - 42 dBA at 250W!!!!!

OK.. Im powering the following...

Athlon 3800+ X2
7900GT SLi
Asus K8n PRO SLi Motherboard
2GB RAM (2x512)
4 x Internal SATA Hard disks (WD 7200rpm)
1x USB Hard Disk
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
2 x IDE DVD-RW drives

My budget would be around £65

Thanks

Hi, My first post here. I have very quiet system and I'm really happy with it except one thing the PSU. It's a Jeantech Arctic 600W ( http://www.jeantech.com/600.htm ). I think it's a great Spec PSU but it's much noisier than my previous PSU which was an Antec SmartPower 2.0 450w. I have a buyer for...
