It is very, very, quiet. I truely can't hear it above the sound of the Mac's fan. It has a 28ms seek time, which makes it a little bit slower than the CMS pro80 (18ms) in our other Mac II. The LaCie costs $1,000. By the way, in defense of CMS, the 80 mb disk is made by quantum and hasn't given me any trouble. This poor drive has been used for more than a year in a Lino service bureau.
