Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has a Western Digital WD2002FAEX 2TB hard drive and if their drive was considerably noisy for an HDD? I am looking to replace my old WD1001FALS 1TB drive with it (mostly noiseless) and would like the replacement drive to offer a similar noise level.

After watching this video and reading reviews it seems like these drives are a bit noisy:

I have a Corsair 550D and the HDD mounts are rubberized which might help reduce the noise though?:

If anyone has any insight into the WD2002FAEX's noise levels or even performance I would appreciate it.
