Seagate 7200.10 400GB question

Does anyone know if 400GB flavor also has the same noise problems as 300GBs?
I would assume that they use the same motor/working mechanism?

i have two 400gb seagates, one is gen 9 and the other is gen 10, the gen 10 is sata and gen 9 is ide, i would say out of the two the gen 9 ide is quitest but the gen 10 is still a quiet harddrive unless you try and write or rad to much data at once..

Hope this was helpfull

i have the 7200 320Gb SATAII, and that's very quiet. even at heavy load it's hard to hear it

Cheers for the replies.

Think I'm going to take the plunge and order one from a competitor for £85.

Merry Xmas.

I've had two 400GB 7200.10s for a couple of months. There's a little bit of noise when they're accessing (RAID 1 so it's both of them each time) but nothing otherwise.

Hmmm, you might not want to mention competitors
