It is old. 512 Mb ram, 1.6 Ghz (Celeron), 2 X 1TB Dell 7200 RPM Sata drives. Mostly backup purposes (rsync and crashplan). transmission-daemon running. That's about it at this point.
512MB is pretty low. I wont be surprised that it's doing swapping all the time. Try to stop and disable all services you can from: chkconfig --list
Moreover, that transmission daemon is surely causing disk activity, don't you think so?
If you are talking about "noise level" of the disk activity..... :) Make sure you screw the harddisk tight to the casing.
