Does anyone know how to change the change the drive Automatic Acoustic Management settings to the:
Lowest acoustic emanation setting (Quiet Seek Mode), or
Maximum performance level (Normal Seek Mode).

In OS X???

I tried to boot from the CD hitachi has on their site with no luck...

by default I was told it is in quiet seek mode, hindering performance...

I have tried both as I have 2 in decent PC configuration and I left it at quiet seek as it didn't make that much difference.
