Thinkstation C30 Quiet???
Thinkstation C30 Quiet???
Hi all,
I decide to get a new PC and decide to get the Thinkstation C30 to replace my 58p!
The 58p was a bit high pitch for my liking; and I had the cover open while operation with a Radeon 6570 graphic card to reduce both the noise and make it lower pitch.
I am wonder if the C30 is noisy or is the sound out of the fan medium or low pitch which is more to my liking.
Any thing else I should be looking for in a C30?
I plan on finding a 256 or bigger SSD already installed. Otherwise, I heard that it is very difficult to install anything other then a Intel 180, 240 or 512 SSD inside. Has that been fix for 2015? If so; I will just buy the best e5 and get a modern SSD like Samsung 850 pro! Has the latest firmware have any bugs in it?
Thanks for your reply

Re: Thinkstation C30 Quiet???
The C30 fans should almost certainly be quieter than the ones in your M58p. Fans wear out and become noisier overtime. I don't see why a different SSD would be a problem to install if it is the same form factor.

Thanks brchan,
I have another one to consider and that is the P300 SFF Thinkstation. Between the P300 SFF and the C30; which is quieter between the two in your opinion?

Re: Thinkstation C30 Quiet???
The P300 is a beastly machine. I was watching some Lenovo video's on the design and build of it.
Dual sockets, support for 14 HDD's, 1TB of RAM, etc.
Beastly.
I want a dual socket laptop.

temetka - you mean the P900, not the P300. the P300 is a small tower, single CPU.

Re: Thinkstation C30 Quiet???
I am sorry if its a little bit late to revive this thread:
My C30 is very silent and I have 2 Samsung 840 Pro's working in it without any problems.
Hope this helps!
