That's true the OD is alot louder than the Fuji drive. I have had both a Fuji 2261 and a Maxtor LXT200S installed. The Maxtor was as quiet as the accelerator disk. You can hear the Fuji accesing, but not running. I went with the Fuji mainly because of the 5 Yr. warranty. -ingo -- /* Ingo Cyliax ECN, Electrical Engineering Bldg. * * cyliax@ecn.purdue.edu Purdue University, W.
