Question: How loud is that thing? Does it seal off most of the noise pretty well? Could it be used in a small office setting, or does it need to be kept in its own room?
Got a tip for us?

So far, it's been completely silent, other than the noise of hard drives spinning. It's in my bedroom right now and doing fine. I think it might get a little louder when the fans kick in, but it can't be any worse than my old hard drive (a Guardian Maximus) which sounded like a 747 taking off. And I hear the new Firewire Drobos are supposed to be even quieter.
Do you have a link? I didnt do much shopping for this, but I played this in the store and loved it. I think I got a good deal, did the Live search on eBay and got $89 cash back and 10% off.
Darnit, you're going to make me spend money! You were supposed to say, oh that new Firewire one can actually wake the dead when it's idle.
I'm working out in my head who I need to rotate external hard drives to so that I can justify getting the FW model.
all done... time capsule is pretty cool. i'm happy. i'm using my airport express now to stream music to my stereo in my living area.
New Canon Rebel XT w/ Kit Lens
Sears
$330 - 10% clearance + tax = ~$330.
If you're interested, call your local Sears and ask if they have any (Look up the item number on the web. I called and asked the first time and the guy in the electronics department didn't know what a DSLR was). There was one in my local Sears and also another a few towns north of mine (which I called first).
Yeah, thats a fingerprint scanner, it also has a laser, and not one that just points out stars either, got the phone fresh from Japan!
Naaa... Its just a speaker, decent quality, too.
The Drobe isn't designed for a 'small office setting' but more for home users. For an office setup there are far better choices around.Question: How loud is that thing?

Well no purchases for the coming week, I'll be going to Florida after this week, so saving the money!
i like i like!
Hope it doesnt cause the device to crawl like 2.0 has done to my iPhone. Never before have I had to restart my iPhone so many times because Safari brings the entire device to a halt, or have I had to go to the home screen and back into SMS because the keyboard is lagging like crazy. Get 2.0.1 out Apple, please.
with app store
can't wait to play with it!
cool! what size? when i get mine i am going to wait for 2.0.1 to upgrade from 1.1.4
That clinches it, I must have a defective one. Mine sounds like a small jet, even when all the drives are asleep!
Edit: And their tech support now says it may be a dying fan. They'll let me know based on the diagnostic info I sent! I want a silent one too dammit!
