Helps a bit, but of course, not as much as I want it. You should drop by one of the MAC dealers or Atari dealers ( which in our town is also the Amiga dealer) and just listen to the silence ( comparably ) of their drives. Now I know that quality of a product increases the longer it is out on the market ( as long as it is still being produced ) but sadly, of all the new A500 and A2000 that I came across, their drives are as noisy or worse as ever. What really impressed me is the MAC II drives. Call me a perfectionist but the way I see it, we always have to stive for quality improvements.....
