recommended serial ata drives for raid setup

Hey folks,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend slightly cheaper and quiet, sata hds so I can get a raid setup going on my system. I normally buy maxtor drives because I've had decent luck (or at least decent rma service) with them. Kind of hate WD for the opposite reasons. I'd like at least 80gb and can spend round 200, 250 max (for both).

Thanks much,
Sokratz
 
Hitachi for performance
WD Raptors 36.7 GB for best performance (though under 80 GB's esp. in RAID 0) 🙁
Samsung for low sound
Seagate for native SATA

WD and Maxtor fits in there somewhere
 
the new seagates 7200.7 SATA drives would be another good choice, its right behind the Hitatchi/IBM in performance but its much quiter, cooler running, and dependable.
