I bought the slot loading Pioneer 16x awhile back and found it to be way too noisy. The Toshiba SD-M1402 (12X) was incredibly quiet compared to the Pioneer. I'm not sure how the 12X and 16X Toshiba's compare, though. Probably worth trying the 16X, just make the store you buy it from has a good return policy in case you find it too loud.
