Hi folks...I know its been a while since I posted on here...but I am hoping you might be able to help me out here. I am on a quest. A quest for an external hard drive case with fans built in that is not loud. First off I bought an external USB2 drive case that has a fan in it. The thing is loud as hell...starts off sounding like a jet during take off and eventually quiets down only to get noisy again later on. I then bought an external firewire drive case that has 2 internal fans. This one is doing just the opposite...its starts off quiet on powerup but gets loud later on. Maybe this is a hopeless quest...I guess any drive case with a fan in it is going to be loud eh?...
