Thinking about getting a pair of Seagate 7200.7 drives to replace my WD 120G drives that sounds like buzzsaws to me now. The whine from them spinning up is noticeable, it's starting to drive me crazy. How are the 7200.7s for noise? I've got a barracuda IV in a silent server that's probably the quietest drive I've never heard, and went and got a Cudda V for my Tivo, and was disappointed in that because while the idle may be quiet, since the drive in a Tivo is always active, the Cudda V makes a lot of noise.
I'm not looking at Samsungs or Hitachis really because those are never on sale, would rather get something that I can get cheap with a rebate.
