Don't get me wrong - I am not saying the box is noisy as the sound coming from mine is perfectly acceptable for a hard drive based device. I just expected that the hard drive would shutdown when the unit is on standby or during the rest period (as stated in the manual) - does the hard drive not get a rest then ???? running 24/7 is not going to help from a environmental point of view or lifespan of the hard drive.
My other DVR (pioneer) hard drive spins down immediately the unit is put on standby.

In post #12 of this thread it is stated that the unit is silent on standby - can anyone else confirm whether this should be the case.
