If you think that was loud, you've never heard a
RP05 spinning up :-).
I have heard it too...like a jumbo jet on takeoff. Seems to
be
most of noise from that too powerful blower motor. Why the need
for that blower to be there?! Ack!
Most removable pack drives go through a "purge" cycle before loading
the heads. The idea is to blow enough air through to pick up any specks
of dust that were in the pack or got into the drive while loading.

Uhhh... could be RL02? It came either internal only or removeable
models and all I could see that fan kept going and going.
All I recall someone who told me was 1.22mb but I could be mistaken.
