I replaced my current hard drive because it was pretty much full and I hate wasting time managing my disk space. So I went ahead with a 500GB at 5400RPM. 5$ difference for the 7200RPM was not was deterred me, but my fear of the noise.
I was wrong, apparently the 7200 RPM Momemtus is quieter! However power consumption is greater.
Either way, the noise unacceptable. I hear it across the room. In fact I think it is louder than my CPU fan!
Stay away from seagates...
It seems, albeit speed is not top, that Hitachi drives are the quietest.
