The hard drive is - as far as the read-write access - compared to other
Hard drives (also from our own) extremely loud. The panel produced a constantly clear
audible clacking in the head positioning. From the motor running noise, however, is her
the drive almost silently.
One feels a little in the 80s / 90s set back when even the
Desktop PCs (Vobis, ESCOM, etc.) stood on the tables and in the interior of the 10-40 MB
(Yes: megabytes) large MFM and RLL disks clacked merrily to himself.
Those who (like me) put together a "silent PC" for your living room
has and has resorted to this disk, the the noise after a short
Time rather annerven and he is buying - not least because of not just the
low price - repent quickly.
My old 1TB HDD WD Green series is virtually silent in comparison.
I already have a 2TB drive from the Black Series from the previous year, which one (which the
As head positioning) also can not exactly be described as quiet as a whisper, but
so extreme is this not therefore.
There is also a performance throwback to the WD2002FAEX plate from the previous year, because
This drive had a fast average access time of 4,2ms while
WD2003FZEX only has an average access time of 8,9ms what is the current market only
may be described as standard. Even Seagate has faster disks in the program.
From the general performance point the plate may perhaps still be okay,
As for the quality and noise isolation, Western Digital has apparently
making good disks forgotten. Pity, because so far I used
almost exclusively plates of WD.
If WD now no decent hard drives more brings about that was my last
Hard disk for this manufacturer.
Those who place value only on power / performance, is welcome to this hard drive
recourse - it is fast, no doubt. Who but rather a smooth-running computer system
wants be on or under the desk, perhaps should but after a
Alternative look.
