Quiest Hard drive now?

Can anyone recommend a quiet drive (around 300GB).

I got my Seagate 320 GB yesterday and although it's quiet when idle it's pretty noisy when seeking. Thanks.
 
I've heard the same thing about the Samsungs. Actually, I have one, but the rest of my system is too loud to know what kind of noise the drive is making 😉 I actually heard that the 7200.10 drives are louder then usual.
 
I own 2 400Gb freecom external harddrives which use SpinPoint drives. I can bearly hear them, and I'm sure you wouldn't be able to if you bought the internal versions.
 
I have a spinpoint, very quiet. My cheapo case amplified the vibrations of the drive tho so I rubber mounted it. Now it is totally silent and I have to check the LED on the front of the case to make sure it is actually doing something
