I bought a Teac 24x drive and while it didn't have a loud vibration problem, every time it accessed a cd there was an extremely high pitched noise(I gather that it was from the laser moving back and forth). It was very annoying and personally I would rather hear the low rattling sound of a vibrating cd than the high pitched squeal of the laser accessing a cd. Needless to say it was returned the next day and I'm still searching for a quiet cd-rom. -- Remove "spamkills" to reply Carsten Boecker wrote in message <6jfn11$1s2$1@newsserver.rrzn.uni-hannover.de>... > >**Modify to email** schrieb in Nachricht <6jfgop$2na$2@news.ramhb.co.nz>... >>All the x24 speed CD-ROM's and above that I have seen have been very noisy >> >>If anyone has experience in installing a variety of brands, would they like >to comment on the noise level >>from differing brands. >> >>I did hear a comment that PHILIPS were very good, but these are not >available here that I am aware of so I >>would like to know which other brands are quiet. >> >Goldstar, Mitsumi, Pioneer and even Plextor are quite "loud". >I prefer TEAC for EIDE and Plextor for SCSI. >Pioneer drives have a jumper on their back to preselect the vibration level. >They are shipped with the high-performance settings and become pleasant with >the slower settings. > >
