How loud is the Kona?

[Carlos Manuel]

I just installed a new LHi in a new Mac Pro and the fan was definitely loud. We have had three others running on our other systems for at least a year and they sound nothing like this one. It sounds as if the fan blade is just barely grazing something inside the housing or causing something loose to vibrate. I have sent it back to B&H and expect a new one in the next few days. Hopefully it sounds more like the beach and less like a weed whacker.

Lhi is very loud here as well. I switched it back for the Lhe and is MUCH better. No fan on the Lhe, big heatsink.
