Thanks for the various responses. So far the consensus is that in
a home environment - the cubes 330 Meg. Maxtor is loud.


Yes, the OD is loud when it seeks - I should have said: with the OD, and
the new filter, the NeXT fan/OD makes appreciably more noise. I have tried 
various
methods to 'quiet' the MaXtor - none have worked.  Loud is relative though -
I live in the middle of the woods - no car noises - no neighbors - just the 
crickets and me. In this environment the Maxtor is loud. At work, though, with
all the humming etc. - it prob. wouldn't be noticeable.

Will
