I think hard drive manufacturers assume scsi drives

for some reason.
My SCSI drives are among my noisiest, yet my Fibre Channel drives
seem fairly quiet. I not sure if that is because of the drives, or
the enclosure. Also how much of it is do to the age and amount of
use the SCSI Drives we use have seen? Also the newer drives tend to
run faster than most SATA and IDE/EIDE drives. The 10K and 15K
drives are definitely louder.
