Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a decently fast drive that runs a bit warm with little spindle (motor) noise.
It is NOT "whisper quiet" as it has plenty of audible seek noise when accessing the drive. Unlike some other brands, there is no Acoustic Level Adjustment software available to reduce seek noise. This is really only a concern for Silent PC enthusiasts, as most PCs cooling fans will drown out the seek noise.
Curiously, the similar WD3200KS is much quieter. Or at least my particular one is.
