I've only used a Supra drive once or twice, but I do know that the Megafile 20
not at all noisy.  Depending on how quite the room you plan to put it in is all
you may hear is the fan working quietly.  I can't detect any noise from the HD
itself (Unlike another HD I own that sounds like a F-4 Phantom ready for
take-off!).
