    I was about about to buy a Samsung 320gb/5400 HM320JI, but became concerned with some reports of clicking sounds, likely from head parking. Most others say the drive is quiet.

    Any views on this? A periodic click would likely drive me crazy.

    My second choice is the Hitachi 200gb/7200. Any reason to prefer the Hitachi, other than a slight performance increase?
