I have some DiamondMax 9 running (2x gamingstation, 1x workstation an 2x fileserver) for years now. I newer used a DiamondMax10, but the 9´ers are very reliable and silent. I have a Samsung drive in the fileserver, too, and the Maxtors aren´t much louder. Perhaps the DiamondMax 10 changed that, i can not tell. WesternDigital disks tend to be silent in the beginning and get very loud in the end in my machines. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
