Western Digital My Book Studio Edition suited for Macs?

It's time for storage manufacturers to turn their heads for Macs because there's a lot of buzz on Apple's computers and laptops lately. Western Digital smelled the market really well and announced their new My Book series at Apple Expo. The Studio Edition they've presented, is of course formatted for Macs, can be connected via USB 2.0 and can use eSATA.

The price is varies from $199 to $399, all depending on capacities, but keep in mind that you get a Western Digital external hard drive with a fanless silver-slick design with and a 5 year warranty for that kind of money.

It's overpriced and comes in a nice case. Apple fans will lap it up.

It's extremely noisy, and the case is aluminumcolored *plastic*, not solid aluminum, as I had hoped.

This means they have a fan inside that makes a whole lot of noise. It makes far more noise than my white 24" iMac, which has muh bigger and more fans (although the noise is better canceled by the white plastic.)

I don't see why external drives really need fans. None of my old internal harddrives on my old PC had fans, and my other external drive doesn't have a fan.

Although it's pretty, I'm afraid I'm going to have to hide it behind my desk so the noise wont bother me as much.

It's also quite noisy when writing/reading to/from the disk, especially when doing large transfers. Nothing like the internal drives on the iMacs, which are nigh dead silent.
