When sending backup to Time Capsule I'm getting only about 150 Mbps via Gigabit Ethernet. Is there any way to speed it up a little bit ?

I've replaced the disk from Seagate Barracuda ES 500 GB to high-end Seagate Constellation ES 2 TB and it's much more silent, but when the disk run for about half an hour the fan is starting to spin and it's noiser than the disk itself ! When the disk is not being used it's going down but the fan is still spinning for several hours. I have to unplug my Time Capsule from electric wall for about 10 minutes and then reconnect it. Then I have silence.

Is there any way to have running disk and passive cooling ?
