Hi, So the 2500 KS is NOT louder then the JD or JS models and has no annoying frequencies in the idle noise?! Anybody can confirm this cause some reviews say the KS is louder then the 3200JD and also the SPCR review of the 2500JD with FDB motors you can read over here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/...

Hi,

Nobody else who has any of those WD drives and can describe its noise, especially the WD2500KS or new WD3200KS?!

Thanks!

Hi, I have some other thread running about these drives asking for user experiences, however I was also wondering if and when SPCR will post there own review about these drives or is it not going to happen?! It seems those drives are being seen as drives that are both silent AND good performers, so ...

Hi, 1/ Does anybody have experience with either (or both) the WD3200JD and/or WD2500KS?! Which one is more silent? Certain benchmarks indicate that the KS is louder which surprises me since its a newer model?! Check the "performance database" at storagereview.com and select both drives for compariso...

Hi, I am looking for a drive for audio/video production, so I need a drive that is silent but at the same is also a very good performer! I need around 250MB. Anybody can tell from experience how good (performance) and silent the WD2500KS and WD2500/3200JD are?! I am not gonna risk buying the T7K250 ...

Hi, Is it true that the SATA power connector is incredibly loose on the T7K250 250GB SATA model?! (I read this in some customer reviews at newegg.com) Anybody else can confirm that the T7K250 doesn't have the head reset noise anymore from time to time. Also note if you have the 160GB or 250GB model ...

Hi, Anybody here who has experience with the Hitashi T7K250 (notice the "T") and can tell if it still makes that "head reset noise" every 10 minutes when the drive is idle which apparently still was the case with the previous 7K250 model according to following review: "One of the general complaints ...

Hi, After reading all the reviews in the world I still don't know which drive to choose. What I am looking for is a 200/250GB drive that performs very well but also is silent. I need it for audio recording so it has to be a good performer. What can you recommend and which ones should I avoid in your...

Hi, Anybody can confirm 100% that with the T 7K250 (notice the "T") the "head reset" noise every 10 minutes orso is absolutely gone now, cause I am still very much in doubt about this, cause aside from the faster SATA support I suppose the T7K250 isn't much different in design from the 7K250, am I r...

Hi, I hope you people can help me with following questions. Thanks very much! :) 1/ First of all, can anybody tell me if the Hitashi Deskstar T7K250 (I am talking about the the 250MB sized "T" model) still makes a certain noise every 10 minutes when idle. Isn't it annoying to hear that noise every 1...

Hi, Just wondering, but what is the average life of a Maxtor HD. I intend to get the DM 10, but it only has a warranty of 1 or 3 years. Does that really mean that there is a big chance that the drive won't be working anymore after 3 years or something? Thing is I still have an old PC here somewhere ...

Hi, Am I understanding it correct that a 200GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 drive won't make ANY more noise then a 160GB or 120GB DM10 because they ALL (?!) use 2 platters that each can handle 100GB or will the 200GB still make a bit more noise because of different reasons?! Also, is 100GB per platter with ...

I checked the Maxtor website. Am I understand it right that all drives up to 200MB come with only 8MB and that the 16MB is only available for the larger drives?! Why is that and what benifits does 16MB give?! Also, anybody can explain how many platters they use depending on which size, cause I didn'...

I beleive that the Maxtor DiamondMax 10's are fairly new (or at least the quiet ones are new) so that may be dated information. All the Maxtor DiamondMax 10's use fluid dynamic bearing motor for quiet operation. - What do you mean with "at least the quiet ones are new"? Are there perhaps 2 types of...

Hi, Some time ago, I remember that people told me to buy a Maxtor since it gives excellent performance while still staying quiet enough. However they told me not to go bigger then 120GB, cause when you would go higher it would make alot more noise all of a sudden. Is this really true and why is that...

Hi, In a comparison review you can find over here: http://www.tweakers.net/reviews/384/7 it seems the seek noise of the Barracuda 7200.7 is louder then the Maxtor Plus 9. Could this really be true. Since I am doubting between those 2 drives for audio recording work, I would like to know this. Anybod...

Since apparently you can't install a silent Zalman cooler or something with the Hercules cards because of the RAM heatsink, I would like to know how noisy the Hercules 9800 non-pro is on its own, like will you hear it over other things in your PC or is it rather silent. Is it true that the Hercules ...

I see, then my question would be if the Hercules 9800 non-pro is on its own silent enough, like will you hear it over other things in your PC or is it rather silent. Is it true that the Hercules 9800 NP is louder then there 9600 Pro, cause the 9800 cards need more cooling?! I would like to buy the 9...

Hi, I believe the Hercules 9800 (I would get the non-pro version) can get pretty hot, so I was wondering which silent VGA cooling solution from Zalman works best with this card and if it will make much of a difference with the Hercules 9800 NP card?! Anybody has experience with this? Will the temper...

Thanks for the info and link Ralf! First of all: am I right that the DX-01W (the mid tower version) doesn't have those airholes in the sidepanels like its big brother, or am I wrong about that? The mid tower doesn't seem to have a close up picture of the front on that site you mentioned. Actually, w...

Anybody who has the DA-01W Maxi tower as I think I am gonna order this case. If so, could you please help me out with following questions. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!! Here they are: 1/ Does the DA-01W Maxi Tower have any airholes in the sidepanels?! If I look at a big picture o...

Hi, Of all cases, I must say the SLK3700 is probably my favorite, especially because of the unique air intake slots it has on the front that create a non-direct noise path to muffle outgoing noise. Good design, except for that door you have to open/close all the time. Simple question: isn't there a ...

Hi, I think I am gonna get either the Aopen H600B (350W), Chieftec DX-01W or DA-01W (full tower), for the simple reason that other cases aren't easily available over here. Therefore, if you had to choose between those cases, which would you choose for a silent PC?! To get a better idea, here are big...

Actually, do those bended plastics around the air intake grooves help alot against noise. Otherwise I could aswell get any Chieftec case or the Coolcases D8000 which all have normal grooves, which probably must let out noise pretty easy? No other cases who have something similar as the SLK3700 intak...

The lack of an air intake on the Neo Classic has been a point of discussion around here for months. Use the search function to read all the previous threads. Actually I did do a search first, but I couldn't find an answer to my question. So, I am still with my question how fresh air can go into thi...

Thanks for the picture. Now, is it possible to remove the door easily, however I must agree it will probably look a bit funny but I don't want to open and close that door all the time when switching cdroms, etc.. The other cases you suggested do not have the same front panel grooves as the SLK3700. ...

Hi, Does anybody have or can take a pic of this case with its door open so I can see what it looks like then? Also, is it easy to remove the door by clicking it out or something (perhaps anybody has a pic of how it looks then) and second, can this be done without breaking anything so you can later o...

Hi, I checked out the GMC Neo Classic and the one thing I don't understand is: where/how does it get its air intake as the front panel seems completely sealed or isn't that so? First I thought the grill at the bottom of the front panel was for air intake but it seems to be a 5.25" bottom bay, so I s...

Hi, Regarding air intake, WHERE does the Sonata get air intake in the front as I don't see any airholes in the front panel where air can go in?! How does air intake work with this case? Also, what's the use to install the optional 120mm intake fan then if air from the outside can't reach it or am I ...
