Where do you apply this, to the inside or outside of the case. I have a few 4-drive raid enclosures that hum when not touched.

I applied this to the inside of my devices. I would keep it away from anything of significant heat, but it should be fine for just that purpose

Typically you apply to the inside of the case, it helps to absorb the noise coming from inside making it more difficult for the metal to transfer the sound to the outside. I would imagine it would still work on the outside but possibly not as well.

On the inside of the case preferably surrounding the source of the noise. Just make sure not to block air flow as it will increase the temp of the case.

I havent delt with a 3tb drive as yet, but I would imagine it depends on the motherboard, its bios settings and the operating system. To be honest I wouldnt trust the Sabrent, I had a fairly new hard drive in it and eventually it started making odd noises. I checked the drive with a different connection and it was fine, something had went south on the Sabrent pc board. Ive been using a Rosewill encloser and its been running fine for a couple years.

Make sure the pink noise is a little below listening volume when you burn it in. You don't want to damage the drivers.

The drive is very quiet. I haven't had any issues with noise from my drive.

I have my EX475 sitting right on my desk. I hear the hard drive once in a while and the fans kick in when I reboot and that is it. My PC is a louder than the Mediasmart unit.

Mine is dead quiet? I read comments about the noisy fan also but I have never heard any noise at all.I installed a 3 tb red WD hard drive and formatted with no trouble. And I have no expertise at all.

mine makes noise too, many HDD's do make noise, especially at the higher speeds.

It shouldn't matter... Is it mounted? If not it may be vibrating the case... If it's temporary insulate the case with a folded up paper towel or something soft and see. If it's mounted you got me. Mine is in a power rig for animation... My case has a pump cooler and like 6 fans when it's cranked up.

No, I don't have that problem. I never noticed a fan running until I read this email. Now, I can hear a slight hum occasionally. But nothing you should ever notice. Yours is not right.

My suggestion would be to attach it to any metal surface of your PC case, its meant to prevent any static you build up in your body to discharge on sensitive components of the pc.

Have you noticed if yours hum? I'm wondering if sinking the box into the wall- as you did, will help decrease the buzzing sound they emit. Thanks for any insight.

I figures out it was the disk drive; where you put CDs/DVDs into. I just put a piece of scotch tape over it, and no more buzzing!

There is a hole in the bottom of its case. I placed it where I wanted it on top of the computer's case, marked the hole's location and bored a corresponding hole in the case - being sure to catch the metal shavings. Then, I bolted it in place. (I ran the drive cables up the back of the computer case where they are exposed and have been knocked loose.)

I haven't noticed it myself at all with this case and I have done plenty of work with the side panel off while it's on... But I did have quite a few fans in there so maybe that covered it but I know there was no high pitch whine on mine. I am also selling mine for half retail price. Contact back if you are interested.

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

Yes some noise is normal, unless you are hearing loud grinding noise. The black series is the performance series. Unfortunately this makes it a little louder than the other series. I believe the green is the quietest, but for desktop performance in a larger drive Black is the best. For better performance you have to use two RAID drives.

I have two asus drives for watching dvd's, I put into the case. I hope you this answers the question. Anyway, we warned : this case isn't that quiet. It's not worth the money, I wouldn't buy this case again.
