In itself a great hard drive if only the volume would not. The arg is high for a 2.5 "-HDD, for a quiet notebook I can not recommend the best of intentions, the running noise will always be very clearly heard from the short distance. The overall volume of my so far very quiet HTPC has it in any case significantly increases. The volume is through the pure running noise of spinning disks, the rattling during access, however, is hardly noticeable, since it is only minimally louder.
When the loudest 2.5 "hard drive that I have ever experienced.
