    Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone with a Hitachi 7k200 can comment about its noise levels? I know they are known to be loud, but with the AAM Feature, does the drive become close to being silent? If not, how much of a nuisance if the drive itself? And if anyone has a Seagate momentus or a 7k100 to compare it to, that would be great!
