I'm really interested in getting one, but I'm kind of worried about the noise it'll make (much closer to my ears than tucked away in a PC case), and the performance. Will it be much slower than if it was directly connected to an IDE channel? (supposing I use USB 2.0)

And what case/drive would you guys recommend?
