judging from the number of "quiet" coolers recently introduced and a growing horde of users sick of noisy computers, i think not. I wonder if the people who still have those loud delta monsters have been skewing the opinions on drive-noise in general: I've heard the maxtor 740X series, ball-bearing as well as fluid-bearing, described as 'quiet' but even with music playing i can hear it's whine, which is just as bad as the DiamondMax40 it replaced.
Hopefully the drive makers will get wise with their next generation and make all their models with quiet features - it's ridiculous that this level of noise is accepted as normal.
