ibm scsi hard drives

[chipy]

does anyone know why older (mid 90's) IBM scsi hard drives are so loud? they work fine but make a lot of noise unlike my WD ata hard drives.

is it because it's scsi or is it only ibm drives? do other scsi drives (seagate, maxtor, etc.) make loud noises?

SCSI is supposedly noisier. I haven't paid much attention to my drives though, there are usually noisier parts of the system.
