Some Ideas How To Make HDD Less Noisy

It is possible that after replacing all the fans the loudest device will drive. The hard disks are noisy for two reasons – due to rotation of the plates and the movement of heads in the search. Accordingly, there are two main technologies that are used for noise reduction – is bearing Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) and configure Automatic Acoustic Management (AAM):

Bearing FDB spindle reduces sound up to 24-30 dB. This technology is widely used by Seagate and IBM / Hitachi, lately – Maxtor, Samsung and Western Digital (but still not in on all models). Fujitsu and most models of Quantum have significantly louder background noise.

Adjustment of AAM can reduce crack heads from moving due to some increase in search time. AAM mode is interesting in that it can be switched independently by utilities manufacturer (recommended) or a universal program to diagnose and repair hard drives MHDD. The process includes such obscure for the average user things as create a boot floppy, reboot from it. But the result is sometimes very noticeable – rather loud noise – a soft muffled rolling. AAM is especially good at IBM / Hitachi and Samsung. IBM 60GXP series and 180GXP is so quiet that sometimes it seems as if they forgot to connect the power:). Samsung PL40 even with AAM off, barely rustling like autumn foliage. But in running the models from Maxtor AAM even though there is, but the effect of it is relatively small. Seagate in its recent series of 7200.7 and 5400.1 refused to set AAM general – citing the fact that its wheels are already extremely quiet. A little further on, we’ll make more interesting solution.
If hard drive could not be shut out by AAM, then do not reduce the noise by wrapping in foam – this will lead to overheating of the hard drive. But the shock-absorbing pads that are often advised, it is quite harmless, but in our experience – completely useless. Reduce the noise helps the computer if it is thick enough. But the most effective solution is to replace the hard drive to a quieter one.

HDD with reduced noise and heat radiation
The theory is simple – for low-noise system is well suited for IDE HDD FDB, inside which a platter. In drives with a few platters heat and noise slightly increased (in the 2-3 dB), respectively, above the requirements for ventilation and insulation case. The case IN-WIN have good sound insulation, for example. But ventilation is not there always on top. But the
case 3R System R101 can be put in the discharge of three barracuda 120G each – and they will be neither noise nor warm. The worst conditions for ventilation are observed in small cases like Slim Desktop.

Your PC can get into serious problems if you do not pay attention to the regular update of the drivers. And this is where driver updater can save you much time and efforts.

We would like to give you some general tips – today the Internet technologies give you a really unique chance to choose exactly what you need for the best price on the market. Strange, but most of the people don’t use this chance. In real life it means that you must use all the tools of today to get the info that you need.

Search Google or other search engines for the topic of “driver downloader software“. Visit social networks and check the accounts that are relevant to your topic. Go to the niche forums and join the online discussion. All this will help you to build up a true vision of this market. Thus, giving you a real opportunity to make a wise and nicely balanced decision.

P.S. And also sign up to the RSS on this blog, because we will everything possible to keep this blog tuned up to the day with new publications about the market of drivers and slow computer solutions.
