I bought a "Cool Drive" drive cooler for my 7200 RPM Maxtor they claimed it eliminated HDD noise. They were partialy right the fan on the thing is so loud that I can't hear my hard drive at all.

I have an ancient 20MB Maxtor SCSI full height HD. The thing takes about 10 seconds to spin up, and sounds like a jet engine. After it spins up, there is a very loud popping inside the drive...sounds like firecrackers. Still runs though.

Dont know of any way to muffle the sound without trapping mucho heat.
