That or he has a different definition of noisy.  I just picked up number
four and five of the same drive yesterday and they are pretty dang quiet.  I
have 3 of them in a software RAID5 now and they're not too bad.  But they
definitely aren't in my frontend box.  They sit nice and cool in my backend
box (which is unfortunately in my room).   Love that storage!
