Posted October 6, 2016 Do you think Hard Drives are loud? personally I hate how loud Hard dives are. If I unplug them I can barely hear my fans running. Even at load! It just bugs me. I was hoping SSD prices would keep falling because I'm really tempted to replace everything with SSDs solely for the silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 6, 2016 How is a hard drive loud? You'd have to be in the world's quietest room to notice them. Unless you're using Seagate.

The spinning noise is quite loud even with all the fans in my system and an ac on in the distant background I can still hear them quite loud. Sort of a high pitched whurr. If you can, unplug your Sata power from your hard dives and give it a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 6, 2016 1 minute ago, zMeul said: loud? I'd rather hear some Maxtor HDDs than fans I love HDD sounds Agreed. It adds to the PC experience that differentiates it from using a tablet or phone. Most likely just a conditioned experience though. Still much prefer the sounds of HDDs working at reasonable loudness to the annoying fans wound up during load CPU: AMD Sempron 2400+ / MOBO: Abit NF7-S2G / GPU: WinFast A180BT 64MB / RAM: Mushkin DDR333 256MBx2 / HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 120GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 6, 2016 i have 3 HDDs, my GPU is 50x louder then all of them comined but i REALLY dont care, everything is so quiet anyway I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

(Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0) Spoiler "Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. #1. Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place. Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier.

Posted October 6, 2016 I absolutely hate HDD sounds. I have an S340 so there is no sound dampening for the drives. When I copy large files or when the nightly backup starts my PC sounds like a wood chipper.
