Re: The ghetto mod thread
I don't know whether it supports AAM, but try it and tell me what happens.
Maybe you could try something like this:

Or just get another drive with a FDB motor.
Nice mod, though. I really need to try something similar for some of my HDDs as well. This old IBM Deskstar DTLA-305030 in my daily-use P3 computer drives me nuts sometimes. Actually, I don't think I'll be able to silence it, even if I used 3x the insulation you did. When it's reading/writing lots of random files, it sounds as if the heads are literally banging on the platters. I've never heard such loud heads in a hard drive before.
Bearings are quite noisy too.
