Samsung HD501LJ is not silent!!!

ive got one of these guys from ocuk, everyone describes it as silent but i think its actually quite loud. The loudest thing in my case actually. Ive got it in the Zalman 160 cage

Samsung SpinPoint T 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD501LJ)

Really does make quite a hum.

Am I missing something ?

I bought one from ocuk this week for my new pc build and mine is very quiet in deed. Perhaps you've been a bit unlucky with yours. It's when they start to make click noises that you need to worry :rolleyes:
 
Its strange, in the reviews everyone describes it as 'silent'. Its perfectly audiable to me from a few meters away.

Am I expected too much ?

If so what are the best silencing solutions currently around for HDs?

Thanks

Hmm, maybe I should return it and get another.
