Re: Thats a LOUD DVD drive! What?

The noisey discs all seem flat and none of them have stick on covers -
they are originals. I might have been a little extream with the noise
comarison to a vacuume cleaner by the way, but it is definatly
noticeable.
I'm using a GIGABYTE drive and WinXP (I forgot to mention).

When you say bad drive, do you mean 'a one off' or the whole series?
Is there any drives designed to be quiet runners ie for multimedia
enthusiasts?
