15k SCSI - How Loud Exactly ???

[jellybeard999]

Im thinking of setting up a SCSI RAID0 array, just for a change, and to experiment a little

Thing is, both my rigs are quiet, and im not sure how loud SCSI is exactly...

Im thinking of putting the case (antec SLK3000B) inside a MDF cabinet i could make easily, which i would soundproof with some loft insulation, and drilling some holes / meshing the front and rear a little...

Would that dampen the sound do you think ?

Any ideas people ?

Would be using a 4 disc, 18gb 15k raid0 array on a PCI controller of some sort, or i might be tempted to use an older dual CPU board, go PCI-X and get some 1.6ghz Xeons

so youd say its a no no ?

if i went the dual cpu route, id use that for encoding, so may still go ahead with the experiment...

would probably build a custom case, so could incorporate a small enclosure with a fan at either end, and soundproof the sides, top and bottom and suspend them
