Where do you all keep these drive arrays?  Are they not loud and annoying?  Are
 you running a home lab?  Rack in the basement or closet? 

I banished spinning disks from my home office a few years ago.  It's wonderful,
 the sound of silence.  
But I've toyed with the idea of getting a Synology as a small media server.  I
just don't want the damn noise.
