I've just bought this Lacie D2 Extreme 250gb and I find it noisy or perhaps it's not in good conditions.
It is connected to the PC via USB 1. ( I will connect it to a Powerbook next week ) I can hear a kind of fan ( or maybe is the drive rotating. Is it suposed to be always rotating ? )which makes an high pitch noise . And I can hear some strange noises like some metal thing is scratching the case. This happens sometimes (as an example,this happens when I select all the folders in the drive and then right-click in properties ) . Is this normal ? Everywhere I read it says this drive is silent but mine is not. |

For recording where a silence is golden, the whole point of the D2 is it's fanless design...

No worries : ) So, the small single drives are fanless, but your 1TB (which I guess has two drives in it) is noisy... Sorry to hear that (no pun intended : )
