Greetings folks!
I have spent some money making my PC quieter , bought a Zalman fan for CPU and Twin Turbo for graphics card (which by the way both work GREAT! Recommend them 100%!)
So all that is good and most of the noise is fan , but then to find out my Hitachi hard drives (2x) are making a fan noise 
Its not loud , but its a low pitched fan noise that i can hear even with headphones on! 
So this boils down to 3 questions
1) Is it normal for hard drives to be audible outside the case?
2) Are Hitachi hard drives known for being noisy?
3) If the above 2 are true , could you recommend a silent hard drive? Looking for 80g 
Wow , sorry about waffling!
Cheers!

Ah yeah mate , i might just be way to OCD about the whole thing 
But is it normal to hear a whirring inside your hard drives and can you get silent ones? If so , able to recommend?
Cheers!
