I'm currently running 6 18GB SCA Drives in a pair of Andataco 3-drive
enclosures. The drives are a mixture of Seagate, Hitachi, and
Quantum drives. Realistically, they're not as loud as the Sun
SparcServer 5/110 and it's HD that are sitting below it. I really
need to move that system to quieter HW.
For those wondering why I care about the noise level, the only place
I have to put the HW is in the corner of our dining room.

I don't care if it's HD only, as I want
to use to hook a couple nice big
HD's up to my OpenVMS box. What can I say, I'm looking for quieter storage.
Depends what you call big. I've got a few Quantum Atlas V 18Gb SCA-
interface SCSI drives and they're easily the quietest hard disks I've
ever come across (IDE or SCSI).
