Hmmmm well the HD noise issue sounds like the norm ( the only thing that REALLY bugs me about this little baby in fact ) having read the above think I will keep active lol as its only when in a silent room that it grates Yeah!?

still scary.  reading that page makes u believe that silent drive is an update to the drives firmware.  lordy, miss one zero or one and that will kill it for sure.  but for the brave at heart, please report back results over time.

my failry new tr3 is nearly silent, but in a silent room u can hear the heads park and the drive spin up/down. nothing out of the ordinary.

the drive is the size of credit card and just a bit thicker. the mounts are tiny bits of rubber. it’s not gunna take much to shake that bity thing up.

The Hitachi hard drive in my TR3AP stopped working after about 14 months.  I have replaced it with a 60 GB Hitachi Travelstar model HTC 426060G9AT00.  Thanks to Rahul for posting the TR3 files as I had not created the installation disks and Sony does not support this product in Indonesia.  The new drive seems quieter than the original but still makes some parking noises.
