    To everyone who has got their panties in a bunch over the amount of "noise" the m1330 and m1530 DVD drives produce, it's the same amount that a MacBook DVD drive produces.

    I've been using an m1330 for about 9 months now and just yesterday bought a MacBook. The MB DVD drive makes the same noise.....no louder, no softer. It's just the nature of a slot load drive.
