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.
