What's the world's Loudest EIDE/PATA 3.5" HDD?

I grew up on the mid-1990s WD Caviar HDDs, and I’m wondering if there’s anything that’s louder at boot and data access.

Heh I remember those. When I was in undergrad doing work study with IT we had loads of laptops through the school year with burned controllers on those things.

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data – legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they’re sure it’s done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time ™ ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
