I have installed a 30 GIGS hard drive instead of the built-in one.
It makes lots of noise! I'm not 100%sure about that but I feel it's the fan to make all that noise, not the hard drive itself. Is it possible that a different hard drive makes the xbox SO hot that a faster fan speed is needed since the bootup?

Can a newer HDD be fine without leaving the machine so noisy, or it is just normal that a new drive makes the box like that?
Thank you very much.

Some drives are louder than others - you might just have a noisy one.
The fan speed doesn't change automatically in response to increased temperature so it is likely to be the drive.
