Quiet SATA

Looking at hard drive enclosure on overclockers for SATA but its very pricey, can anyone else recommend ways to really quiet down hard drive as mine is getting very noisey these days.

Re: Quiet SATA

The interface (Sata/IDE) doesn't make any difference to the noise.

If your drive is noisier than when you first installed it I would be looking for a new drive and copying the data before the old one fails!

Re: Quiet SATA

Check your Hard Drive manufacturers download section, there may be some utility that lets you adjust the Accoustic Noise from the drive, Hitachi/IBM offer such a utility called 'Hitachi Feature Tool'.

Try defragging the drive, that may decrease excessive noise from the heads thrashing about finding pieces of fragmented data!
