Gotten yours yet? I installed my ST4000DM000 today (after having listened to one on the day I couldn't avoid buying it) and the tone of the idling motor/platters is the nicest I've ever heard. Meaning that my ears don't pick up any of the high pitched tones that I have always hated, even close up it's more like a small fan than something with bearings. I'll have to have spend some late night listening for noises to really claim it's great, but so far I'm liking the investment even as I didn't really need it for the storage space.
Damn you, now your making me want to upgrade my server =(
Kinda confused with Seagate saying they were exiting the green drives... and bam a new one comes out, maybe they came to their senses into thinking that storage is what they have left for the future.
Looking forward for more comments, hoping for SPCR to get a hold on this drive for review.
