Aren't raptors like insanely loud, too?
|
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.
|
Then I guess I've always had really quiet hard drives
