I recently exchanged my 4850e for a 240e. It runs passively fine with the scythe ninja mini cooler, but i have two noctua 12cm fans in the case as well for some airflow. But it's noiseless from 1m and out basically.

Great test! I have my own experiences to share about this WD drive. Now i've been following this great site for years trying to create a silent bedroom computer, and with this HD i'm finally satisfied. I have the WD 500GB mounted with Novibes 2.5" in a Silverstone TJ08. And again i can't hear the th...

I've just ordered the Solo myself, it will be replacing the old SLK3000B i have. I use it as a gaming rig too (E8400 scythe ninja 2, 4870 with Thermalright TRAD2 cooler). Problem with the SLK3000B for me is mainly vibrations from the hdd and fan mounts, which i hope will be solved with the Solo like...

I just exchanged my Samsung SP2504C with this drive and i'm very happy. The noise difference from my htpc is very little. I've suspended this disk as well with rubber strings.

And now i have twice as much space, fantastic!
