[microsound] noisy hard drive on mac

[i8u]

hi,

not much as i have a drive dedicated to time machine,
i back up on a server as well as dvd for small projects.

this would be strictly for music.

thanks again for everyone's input,
tips and links, it is very useful
as i am in unknown territory.

best
