This is a loud ride. Even if there is no direct access. The fans and drives run loud. I would suggest installing it behind or under a table. Its presence on the desktop is audible. At the same time I work with music and use it to directly access stored frames and work directly from the hard drive in Capture One and Photoshop. It's worth the extra money for 440MB/s read and write speeds.
