[clue-tech] Noisy computers

[mike havlicek]

I have run into a similar problem.

I just got a disk array with 7 10k rpm disks. It is
pretty loud. I got on a tangent beyond setting up the
hardware raid that I want on the array with the noise.
That is with one power supply ... I also have the
option of reducing the disks by 1 and adding redundant
power which I am sure will be louder.

Anyway the solution I am working on is using wireless
to put the array on a box in my basement. FUN. With
the hardware I got I ended up getting device driver
code from source-forge etc....

BTW: does anyone know about how to use adaptec array
1000 with linux? I have the RAID controller in my box
to hopefully get the array up. My only successful
experience with hardware RAID has been with Mylex DAC
960....
