>>My new Jaz drive. Maybe I need a sonic tea-cosy. Any suggestions? Is it a dud?<< No. It isn't a dud. This is what Jaz owners have to come to expect from their decision. On the other hand, the new SyQuest SparQ is just $199 for the same capacity as the now brutally overpriced Jaz. And get this-- the SparQ 1 Gig cartridge costs just $33 apiece in a 3-pack. 4 Gigabytes for $300. Hardware included. Let's see Iomega top that.

Hi Eve, I bought my Jaz about 18 months ago. Yes it spins down after a settable idle period and has to respin-up when accessed. But mine makes no discernable noise after it has spun up or if there is no cartridge in it. Give Iomega a call. Jeff
