I'm considering third party drives for a NeXTstation. I am concerned about noise levels though. I'm looking for the idle and operating acoustic levels for the 105MB quantum drive and the 340MB seagate drive that ship with the NeXTstations. I'm currently considering a 1GB drive from Micropolis which idles at 32dB and operates at 35dB. However, I have nothing to compare it with. Is this loud (generally or relative to the NeXT drives)? Any constructive comments appreciated. Please e-mail your comments and if there is enough interest I will post a summary. Steve Hoffman Motorola Inc.
