Well, it was a neat surprise to me when I discovered that a newly
purchased - not Seagate which I almost always used - drive has all
the acoustic stuff in place.
ATA device, with non-removable media
Model Number: Hitachi HUA721050KLA330
Firmware Revision: GK6OA70M
Recommended acoustic management value: 128, current value: 128
* Automatic Acoustic Management feature set
...
And it's indeed more quiet when seeking if acoustic management value
is set to 128, and quite more load when set to 255. Speed decreases
a bit (I didn't do any measurements), but not much.
Western Digital drives also has acoustic management in place. At
least some of them. But I never heard of this stuff present for
Seagate drives - my guess is that those are in a "good" compromise
between speed and loudness already :)
