Adjusting the acoustic management to quite your drive will have a big impact on seek times. It can easily double your seek time.

I would only recommend doing this If performance is not a top priority for you.

Coolers makes much more noise than my Seagate HDDs. I really like Seagate for that low-noise drives :)

It only solves part of the problem. AAM reduces noice that HDD heads make but it can’t reduce hum of engine.

I am big fan on silent computing and HDD noise is bigger problem than it seems – it’d hardest part to silence.

I am currently using boxes from Scythe http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/hdd/005/sqd1000_detail.html

Not really DIY person and those are as good as manufactured boxes get.
