noisy internal drives

[Franko]

I realize I messed up my first post. WHat I meant to say was.. EXTERNAL drives were always more quiet than the internal commodore ones.

Stupid early morning typing

Probably because the internal ones are inside the Amigas casing which acts sorta like a loudspeaker cabinet in a way and the external ones were in far tighter enclosures with almost no room for sound reverberation...

(wow... don't believe I just typed that, sounds almost too sensible for me... )

Did you forget to drink this morning ?

That does make total sense though.

Naw, ah only woke up about an hour ago (5pm) and my medication hasn't kicked in yet... :lol:

It's easy to prove though remove an old internal drive and place it in an external case, the difference is quite amazing...
