Looking for silent SATA HDD

Recently I have seen many Seagate SATAs and they're very loud. Actually Seagates were popular for their silence. But this is not true for their SATA drives. I have seen two 80GB and one 120GB Seagate SATAs, but they're much loud. I don't like Samsung personally. I'm confused about the SATA hard drive brand.....which brand I should pick up?? Maxtor, Western Digital or anything else?? I want my SATA hard drive to be quiet....!!! I hate noisy drives.....may be I'm picky with those!!
 
very picky i would say.

If Samsung and Seagate are out, next in line is WD or M-Sys. M-sys is the only silent hard drives, but they start at $900
 
Sorry, you have *no* idea what you're talking about. If you want quiet, you only have one option, the Samsung Spinpoints, whether you like Samsung or not.
 
Spinpoints are quiet as well. However so are the Seagates. The Seagates are only noisy during seek. I do know what i am talking about.

Samsungs are the thing you want whether you like them or not
I have a sata samsung and seagate in my case and the samsung is so quiet you probably wont here it
 
Hitachi 7K250 (80GB) that I have is REALLY quiet, and fast to boot. They are about $60 shipped from NewEgg or ZipZoomFly 🙂
