I need to pick someone's brain about current generation Dell rackmount R320 servers. Here are my questions:

1. How loud are the R320 series servers typically at idle? How do they compare noise-wise against a PowerEdge 2900 (tower) for example?
2. If one were to want to mix 3.5" SATA drives and aftermarket (Samsung 840 Pro) SSD's in an R320, what would be the best way to go about it?
