Depends on what you call 'quiet' - Halcy 09:42:52 03/19/02 (0)
If you look at the measurements, even the *LEAST* audible drives do more than 43 dB.
I surely wouldn't call that silent.
Faster drives will make much more noise and 10 krpm drives and higher will all have a high pitched squel that is very hard to damp.
I know, I've built a silent computer myself (all drives rubber suspended and enclosed, water cooling).
cheers,
Halcy
