    Seagate Momentus 7200.3 with Free Fall Sensor.

    It is dead silent and outperforms the WD Scorpio and beats out in some aspects the Hitachi 7k320 from my tests. I did my research on the drive. :)

    I would have gotten the Hitachi 7k320, but everyone who has had one can hear the drive and there is a lot more vibration. Besides, the Seagate Momentus consumes less power and still runs cool :)
