    Woo hoo! We have been waiting for this forever I reckon SCSI is going to lose its market soon enough - the price just won't make it worth it when servers and mainframes can use fiber channel solid state harddrives.

    Bah, you kidding me? Do you think all 15,000 RPM SCSI drives have mufflers? Fujitsu made a good attempt at noise reduction with their 15K RPM drives. There are cooling fans that are louder (take the Thermal Take Volcano 6 CU + for example , that damn thing has a 7,100 RPM fan, and let's off like 75 decibals

    IIRC Western Digital will be using fluid bearing dynamics.
