I own an Everex EMAC 20 DL ("DL" for "deluxe").  It's the EMAC that sits
underneath the Mac like an Apple HD20SC.  It's relatively fast and it's been
quite reliable so far (I've had it for about a month).

Maybe the EMACs that sit next to the Mac are quiet, but the one that sits
underneath is QUITE noisy.  Noisy enough to be distracting in any place but
an office with other fan-cooled computers or printers or in another similar
setting.  My roommates and I refer to my EMAC 20DL as my Mac's "jet engine"
... it's almost as noisy.  Had I known how noisy it'd be, I'd have bought
the other model.

Then again, maybe there's a problem with mine.  Anyone else have the "deluxe"
EMAC 20 hard drive?
