Avoid Seagate ST8000VN0002 - Horrible noise issue!

Hi,   I have installed four of the Seagate ST8000VN0002 in my RN716x and just finished the resync of all disks. Unfortunately I now have an annoying beeping/humming noise when the disks are idling....

Could you notice a difference between those version? Are the 61 quiet?

In my limited experience, there is a huge difference between the versions. I had another SC60 arrive from Newegg today and it's making the horrible whine. My upgraded SC61 is cool (110°F) and quiet.
