Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Most silent BluRay BD-ROM for HTPC. GGW-H20L too loud

Chefkoch81 · 28-04-2008

Hi!

Thx for your opinions. Of course it depends on the environment. When my HTPC was in building stage, the noise was not hearable too good.

But in the dead silent living room at night. When I could not watch a movie very loud (2 children sleeping), its not acceptable.

I expect a Drive, when playing a movie to behave like a drive in a Standalone Player. I own a Toshiba A30. There I disconnected the rear fan and the drive itself makes almost no noise.

My Goal was to replace my HD-DVD player with a HTPC, because theres no silent BluRay Player. I wouldnt have thought, the the drive will be my biggest problem.

Regards
