Hi
[H]itman
I guess it's all relative If you were to blindfold me & then open / close any of my drives I could tell when because I would hear it (noise). Whether I could tell which drive is something else.
Perhaps I should have put it differently. The noise I hear from my BenQ's is no more signifcant than that of my other drives. So not a problem for me.
Oh! By the way my first three 1640's were faulty ( different faults in each one ) so my fourth & fifth ones I picked up personally so as to rule out any chance of damage in transit ( as I travel round the UK a different area each day this entailed no cost) & has proved worth it. Drive number 4 has been used daily for just over three weeks, with drive 5 just over two weeks.
