Hard drives met shortly after ordering a with me. Packed Safely in Amazon carton.
Having read one or the other product review, came to me only doubt whether the performance would justify the volume described ....
Top performance in the RAID 0 of 2 WD1002FAEX I 175MB / s lt. HDBench. Volume: Audible light only when Access Access is noise. In idle state, each Silent case fan is loud.
I am neither deaf nor hard of hearing, I place a high value on soft hardware. Since you can also look good DVDs / TV on the 28 "TFT, .... I do not want to hear the PC there. He's in the Idle state genaus silent as before with the two 1.5TB Samsung hard drives.
When installing Windows 7 & Co and in their daily work significantly noticeable Geschwindigskeitszuwachs.
The users are complaining about the volume is certainly the case, depending on mounting drives generate vibrations yes .... which are transferred onto the housing or be reinforced. In default in LIAN Tower was not the case.
Calling all "noise-plagued" the disk dominates AAM: The Acoustic Management can access the sound of a hard disk influence by software. This sound is caused by the movement of the read / write heads when changing lanes - the sooner that happens, the louder the sound. In a quiet setting of the lane change is artificially slowed down, which makes the access noise of the hard disk quieter. However, the access time is thus higher and the hard drive so that the operating slower.
Loss of speed is lt. Measurement minimal.
