I did that a day or 2 ago, when I received my 7200.10 Barracuda 320GB SATA, and mine was identical to the "non-silent motor" HDD in the link you gave. However, although mine is also made in China, it is not noisy in any way, I can only hear it very slightly when it is working hard, indeed the 7200.10 is quieter than the 7200.7 Barracudas and the Raptors that I have.
