Well the Fujitsu's take the cake for being the quietest drives.  When I
got mine I thought that it wasn't working cause it was so quiet.  Unless
it is doing some rw you can't hear it.  I have never heard a 7200 rpm
drive from them though.  But the crazy computer geeks over at
tomshardware.com say that they are the quietest also.  They also have a
kick ass worenty.  If anything goes wrong with the drive for any reason
they will replace it with in two business days with in the first three to
five years depending on which moddel you get.  Enough of my Fujitsu plug
here.
