No extra noise at all that I can discern. Mind you it'd be hard to hear
in this room, it's like a full blown "give a home to any old PC that can act
as a server" scenario and hence a bit noisy (understatement ;)
So, how do you rate my chances of getting it replaced (bearing in mind that
Maxtor seem to demand a failure code) ? And yes, it's still under warranty.

Thanks - just wanted to confirm that and you have :)
