I have your memory and hard disk.

The memory is very silent in operation ;)

The disk is a bit clicky when busy, but otherwise quite quiet. I bought Seagate because the 120Gb disk I put in my TiVo is near silent - this disk is marginally louder.

    Hi Nielsi

    I've got 2 Seagate Barracuda Hdd's and they are Quiet size has nothing too do with it its RPM and seagate are now reknowned as the quietest Hdd's on the Market and if anyone quotes samsung i have a very noisy one in a backup external box they can borrow. if youve got a noisy seagate return it its faulty.
