I was using a
WD Caviar 2.0 GB, and it was
LOUD!!!
If you think that was loud, you've never heard a RP05 spinning up :-). The most amazing thing is being in a real computer
room (i.e. dozens
of 14" drives) when the power suddenly goes *off*. The silence is
astonishing.

I'm sure that would be real shock. And a BIG trump when all heads
suddenly as one parks home when power went out. (Along with a fading
sound of spindown with one or two squeak from bit worn platters).
And burning smell of brake material but I have imagination running
amok. :)
