Again, as I mentioned in the review, the StorCenter ix2-200 is currently the fastest NAS we've tested. The ix2-200 is totally quiet when it isn't uploading/downloading data (unlike the original ix2, which made noise even when it was idle) but the ix2-200 gets very loud when it's working. You wouldn't notice it if it was several rooms away or if you had it inside a utility closet, but if you kept this NAS on your desk you would absolutely notice the noise (when it's doing something). The Western Digital My Book World Edition NAS devices are also extremely good, but they aren't quite as fast as the ix2-200 based on our lab tests.
