Fanless LaCie d2 Quadra

Posted by AbeCollins on December 8, 2008 at 17:30:55:

Some of the newer LaCie external HDDs have no fans so they're quiet but not silent. Still less noisy than older units that have a small fan inside. I'm actually using the Firewire interface. I had the older HDD on USB. This LaCie unit uses a 7200rpm disk which is pretty much standard these days. I suspect a slower 5400rpm disk would be a little quieter but this unit isn't bad.

* All-in-one external drive with 500 GB capacity and quadruple interface for full Mac and PC compatibility
* Includes eSATA 3 Gbit port; 2 FireWire 800 ports (9-pin); FireWire 400 port (6-pin); USB 2.0 port; and cables for each connection
* Fanless ridged design by Neil Poulton for cool, quiet operation
* 7200 rpm spin speed and 16 MB caches; ideal of demanding multi-media applications
* Measures 1.7x6.3x6.8 inches (WxHxD); weighs 3.31 pounds; 3-year limited warranty
