i have a 270/250 SSD for speed

i need quiet storage, are these the quietest?

I believe so, might be slightly louder than a WD. Definatley quieter than seagate

so your suggestion is a WD then and not a F3

i had a seagate barracuda before and yeah, that thing was noisey

I'm making a guess as I've used lots of WD 500GB's and F3 500GB's.

There really isnt much in it. If you want to factor out speed completely get a WD Green as they are next to inaudible.

The F2 is quieter than the F3 and WD Green.
