I'm currently running 6 18GB SCA Drives in a pair of Andataco 3-drive 
enclosures.  The drives are a mixture of Seagate, Hitachi, and 
Quantum drives.  Realistically, they're not as loud as the Sun 
SparcServer 5/110 and it's HD that are sitting below it.  I really 
need to move that system to quieter HW.

For those wondering why I care about the noise level, the only place 
I have to put the HW is in the corner of our dining room.
