Hello!
I recently came across a 7200.7 80GB PATA and its seeks are amazingly quiet.
I know that there is a patent problem and quiet seek mode is disabled on the
7200.7 series but why does the 160GB SATA sounds so much louder than that
80GB PATA ?. (Idle noise is absolutely fine on both of them)
I am really curious if the seeks are more quiet on other 160GB drives
because I bought mine when they first came out and Im suspecting an early
firmware or something like that.
Firmware version on mine is 3.0.
Thanks
