Hi , could someone tell me if it is just a specific size of drive that has the noisy motor. Wouldnt mind one but have heard one of the iffy ones and its LOUD. Would get either the 200,250 or 320.

My case is on the wall next to my right ear , at the moment i have a couple of WD's and they are ok , but the whine i heard from the 7200.10 would drive me nutty.

the 7200.10 does not have a whine, well mine doesnt atleast. Also can't hear no drive spinup eitha or spindown.
 
i have 2x 250gb sata with pink on bottom, whining is something i dont care about and cant tell about if the 2 seagates are whining, because i have 5 hdd's in total...

When seeking tho, the 2x250 gb seagates are quite noisy, noisier than my hitachi dekstar or wd caviar, but the 2 hdd's together are still more silent as maxtor when seeking...

is it the green or pink motor, i was curious at the motors i had in my current seagates so i opened up my case only to discover that both my 250gb ide and 80gb sata 2 drives had the pink motor, i dont hear any motor niose from my pc at all well maybe some from my raptor but not the seagates.
 
I have a 250GB 7200.10 (IDE), 2x250GB WDs (SATA) and 1x200GB Samsung (IDE) and I can't really hear one over the other (or really hear them at all)...the Samsung is probably the loudest at idle with the Seagate/WDs being just about audible on seek.
