  Every now and then i've run across some really loud hard drives.  Drives have
gotten a bit quieter in the years since the SPARC-20 was made.

 If you can clearly hear the drive over the fan, try a different
 drive. Higher RPM drives (7200 was a pretty big deal back in 1995) are
 sometimes louder than others.  You can get used 9 GB or even 18 GB SCA
 drives for very little money now -- less than $10 if you search.  You may
 just want to replace it.

Which keys?
