It will be interresting to hear how much noise the O2
and the Origin 200
generate that I will get next weekend. I suspect that the O2 is not that
loud, but the Origin 200...
The O2 can vary, my first O2 was pretty quiet when I first got it,
and then I put the 10,000 RPM 18GB Seagate drive in it. That caused
vibration issues. By the time I moved it to my current R12K/270 I
figured out if I stacked a small pile of books on top of it, the
vibration went away. The strange thing is it's no longer sitting on
my desk, rather it's on the wooden shelving unit next to it, and I
don't really notice the noise.
OTOH, I've got 6 10K JBOD drives running about 4 feet from where I'm
sitting, so it's always a bit noisy in here.
