Hi all

I'm looking for a very quiet SCA drive to use in a SPARCstation 5, so I can leave it on without it being annoying.  In my searches I have come across the Maxtor Atlas V which has a drive idle acoustic of around 3.2 Bels, although I do not need 9gb of space (this is the minimum you can get today).  I'm also sure that the drive would come with a nice price tag.

If you know anyone that would be willing to sell an older SCA (80 pin) drive could you let me know.  In this case, the noise level is much more important than drive capacity.

Thanks
Tim
