Choosing the Quiet Drive Options
✎
The Quiet Drive is an optional feature and may or may not be
included on your computer (UATA drives only).
If this computer is equipped with a Quiet Drive or, if you choose to
install a Quiet Drive, you may configure the drive to operate in Quiet
mode or Performance mode (default). When idle, the Quiet Drive
produces an acoustic noise level approximately 4 decibels (dB) lower
than that of a standard drive. When configured to operate in Quiet
mode, the Quiet Drive reads and writes data at an acoustic noise level
approximately 7 dB lower than that of a standard drive.
