I have an ICD FaST disk enclosure with a 60 Mb disk (I believe it's a
Seagate...don't recall the model no.).  I've had this setup about two years.  
It has always been noisy...emits a continuous high-pitched whine which I have
always assumed was a fan (although I don't know for sure that it even HAS a
fan).

Anyone know anything about these configurations?  Are they usually noisey?
Can anything be done about the noise?  For instance, should I change the
fan (assuming there is one) to a quieter one?  Is there a plug-compatible,
quieter replacement?  Have I exceeded the threshold for dumb questions yet?

Thanks.
