Perhaps I'm mistaken, but whether a drive is noisy or not is basically just
a matter of resonance, and is not directly related to quality per se.  Now,
maybe some people are bothered by the actual *noise*, but I think most people
are bothered by the *fact* that it makes noise (i.e. they think there disks
are getting eaten).  So, to sum up, I would rather CA spent time on other
things.

But still, maybe some engineer at CA could take just a *teensy* bit of time
to look into the matter.  :-)
