opnions on these four HD coolers please. Need vibration, whoosing and seek reduction. But still with decent cooling. If both are possible at the same time.

Replies please, I might pickup a Silentmaxx today, as long as it silences click/whirr noise.

How does it compare to the others?

I bought a Silentmaxx for my Seagate and reading the posts on OCUK, tower is about 18 inches away and I can hear the slightest click if I listen for it. Much better than my previous Cooldrive enclosures.

I've decided to get a two bay SATA NAS instead, my htpc with the two 7200rpm drives disconnect is deadly silent, so moving them away to another room and using a 60GB 2.5" for OS I think will be the ideal solution.
