just got the smart drive 2002

and very dissapointed.
i got western digital 120gb 8mb special edition drive. granted, the drive does have lot of whine without the smart dirve 2002, but come onnn... $95 spent on a simple enclosure should take MOST of the noist out... anyways, i must admit, smart drive 2002 did take some of the whine out, but not completely (in fact most of the noise is still audible). anyway, here's the bottomline: i can still hear it DISTINCTIVELY, and $100+ spent on this unit (even though now you can get it for $68+s/h) was frankly waste of money with my wd1200jb.
this is even with a zalman psu that suddenly got louder...
damn it, i guess i'll keep the enclosure... i have nightmares returning an item i purchased online... shipping fee back, restocking fee, correct alignment of stars.... and that's when everything else goes right. but will definitely look forward to replacing the wd drive with a fdb one. people seem to like the fdb + smart drive combo alot.
