For those who own the AW1600 recorder and dislike the HDD noise:
SSD = Ultimate solution (NO noise at all)
I equiped my AW with the OZC Vertex2 60GB SSD....and love the silence and speed. The only extra piece of electronics needed is a IDE to SATA interface board, plug&play, use the latest updater file on a CD and ready!! (total costs around € 100,-)
See
http://www.satacables.com/html/sata_to_ide_adapter.html for the kind of interface I used. (many brands have them)
