Looking for Quiet External HD...

Do u use dc power supply unit for this ext hard drive? Reason for asking is because most ext hard drives come with wal warts. More noisy.

Bought my server with 1TB installed at www.endpcnoise.com . I LOVE it! comletely silent! relize you are looking for brands and an external hard drive. If you have to ask? I left it to the experts. no issues just enjoyment. p.kogan

Installed the Oyen MiniPro 2.5" Firewire 800 drive today. It is marginally quieter than the DataTale 3.5" FireWire 800/400, and it does not require a separate DC power supply, so I'm going to stick with the Oyen drive for now.

Interesting, i have been learning towards the Mini pro also...been considering to get this unit. It would be a perfect portable HD.

I place the drive on 1/2" sorbothane and place a brass weight on top, which also quiets the drive and isolates the shelf from vibration caused by the drive.
