noisy internal drives

[runequester]

why on earth were the internal drives commodore used so noisy ?

This might be a dumb question, but almost every external drive I've had for an amiga has always been far more quiet.

[Tension]

Cos they were so old?

EDIT:  i.e they were 1992 technology

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.

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...

I just bought a copy of BAD for my trusty old A1000. I am amazed at how much less noise BADed disks make, not to mention a huge speed increase!
