Nice quiet SATA Drive

[pinkaardvark]

Last couple of drives I purchased were like hoovers, seagates I think and as I now need to pick up a drive to upgrade another machine I'd like to try and select one that isn't extremely loud.

I'm looking for something around the 250-300gb mark that is relatively quiet. Any suggestions?

Yeah it was mainly seek noise I was referring too, don't think spin noise has ever been a problem to my ears. But my hast two seagates made an horrific clatter even when they were buried in aluminium noise abatement caddy's

Thanks for the info, I'll give the sammy a go.
