My Barracuda 320gb Rant

[snazzy_dazzy]

Damn these drives.....


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO noisy.

When I turn my pc of the silence is overwhelming. How can this be legal.


Do not buy a 320gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 16mb cache HDD. Noisiest mofos around.


p.s this is the pink glue.



Its a real shame. I have my Zalman on silent @ stock with no northbridge fan and the GTX on silent. The psu and case fans have no noise. Its just the bloody HDD.



TBH it could be the case as my 3 dvd rws are Extremely noisy as well.


Either way damn the HDD and the NZXT Lexa Classic

that would be your problem then, pink glue drives are made in china and tend to be noisy most of these were recalled , the green glue drives like mine were made in singapore and are much more quiter than yours, did you buy it from ocuk?

Could have sworn it was the pink glue that was quiet........

Oh well. Ill just give the drive to my dad and buy some more HDD. I mean who cares £70 quid either way
