I just purchased one off ebay...and I am amazed at the noise reduction level on my Maxtor D740 60gb 7200...the high pitch "whizzing" noise is no longer there...and my HD temp. remains 48-50 C...according to Dtemp.

Comments??

I can see all 3 pictures now.

Lol i wasnt gonna say anything but i agree with you, no one bite my head off for saying but i dont like kids. I dont get what people see in them, they are stinky and expensive and LOUD. And you spend your whole life looking for a good woman only to see her body deformed and any attention she once p...

I hope you all know I was only joking

Thanks Rusty...Dtemp works great!

how is this activated? to get HD readings from MBM5?? I'm having trouble deciphering this issue! :? I agree with MBM being alittle confusing. Try Dtemp instead. All it does is HDD temps, and its as simple as it possibly could be. Dtemp download It's what I use to monitor my drives. Thank you. I wil...

what also works well as a filter...are used Bounce sheets! just cut it out to fit your fan, your room will smell spring fresh!

Is anybody currently using the SilentDrive setup? My Maxtor 7200rpm D740X has that loud whine...and it's very annoying! Mine too! Luckily, I'm getting it replaced under warranty. Even just moving it to the bottom of the case and sitting it on some foam drastically reduced the usual noise, although ...

Nice...where did you purchase your SmartDrive enclosures?

So SilentDrive vs SmartDrive...what do people who have these actual items think? I am considering getting either one because my 60GB 7200 Maxtor...that whining noise is killing me. I've tried ACM and that doesn't really do much...
