I'm looking to replace an aging IBM Deskstar 60gb. It's been completely reliable (more so than my newish Maxtor). But it has a slight high pitched whine even in idle. I'm trying to silence the PC.

The modern day Hitachis are clearly the best overall drives in terms of performance. But do they exhibit a similar whine? I'm not too bothered about noise during access but am trying to make a quiet PC when at idle.
