Samsung Spinpoints are supposed to be the quietest, but Seagate's 7200:10's are on par with them.

I actually have 2 x RAID 1 arrays in my main PC ... the first consists of 2 x 320gb Seagate 7200.10's & the second is 2 x 500gb Western Digital WD5000AAKS's.

Although the Seagates arn't exactly noisy, surprisingly the WD's are both quieter & faster.
