I'm going to buy a WD Black drive for a little weird box that I'm piecing together but I'm worried that it will be too loud. I'm using a Fractal Design Core 1000 case and it has rubber mounting rings that should dampen most of the vibrations but the motor noise at idle is my main concern. Is it a low frequency hum or more of a hiss? If it's a low hum then I'm afraid I'll have to sacrifice the speed for some peace of mind.
