The early models do not like EIDE drives. ATA100 drives are backward compatable. So if you have a 40 cond it will drop back to the ATA66 speed.

My 2000 was a version 1. The fan was an odd ball fan size, 52x52x15mm. Sunon PN KD1205PHB3 , 4300rpm, 8.5 cfm, 22.5 dba, 12vdc, 7w. Since the fan is only mounted by 2 screws you can get by with a 50x50x15mm by expanding 2 mounting holes. I believe the v2 has the same powersupply and fan. I don't think they make a quiter fan. If the fan is good, I dought if you could hear it at 22 dba. Most fans are 26+ dba.
