[QUOTE="moltas, post: 40133, member: 12298"] I am by no means a HDD expert and haven't tested different drives but would like to add something to this interesting discussion. I have two Spinpoint 200 gb drives and they are resonably silent but I would like to have them in my living room (nor would my wife :) ). I bought two Silverstone FP53 hard drive coolers which also have an anti-vibration design that helps reduce noise. Basically it's four vibration dampening pads made out of rubber. The main reason I got 'em though, was to cool the HDDs down but was pleasently suprised about that nice side-effect.
