I was looking at this one:

I have no idea what drives are quiet, though, and that is the most important aspect for me... My current 120gig WD is ridiculous. It rattles my desk and I can hear it from outside.
I have replaced nearly all the moving parts inside my PC, and the last thing to go is the hard drive.
Are there any 3.5" drives quiet enough to be virtually silent?
Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.
Oh, and is this worth getting as well?

current seagate drives are way too loud and hot.
try for a samsung
probably the quietest current 3.5" drive you can get (but there's always the option of paying big bucks for a near-silent laptop hard drive)

So that's the quietest 3.5" drive? Seems to be what I'm looking for, thanks.klankymen wrote:current seagate drives are way too loud and hot.

I don't really want to get a notebook drive.
And by the way, do you think this will lower noise a bit further?

Re: Very quiet drive reccomendation?
After reading reviews here and other places, my guess is no. Check out the recommended harddrives section: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article29-page1.htmlInvisiblemoose wrote:
