Not really. The original Raptor drives were slightly louder that drives of the same time, but I can't hear the Velociraptors over the other drives and fans I've got in my system.
|
Anyways, I don't see people going off and buying expensive hard drives for a slow computer, and if you have a fast computer chances are you have several fans in it to keep it cool, so chances of hearing your hard drive over those fans seems unlikely to me.
|
Disagree there. Currently my main rig doesn't produce any audible sound, (and with a Core i7 and HD5870 it's not slow) so having noiser HDD's in there is likely to make a difference.If you got a nice rig in which a SSD should be placed, you can easily make it a very silent rig (in idle mode anyway).

Harddrive is pretty quiet in idle mode as well...

Only if you let them spin down. Which decreases HDD life, as they mostly die when spinning up, due to the high current needed to start electromotors.
