    I have a 100gb 7200rpm hd, and it is fairly loud. Even when not doing much, it makes noise. Is this normal, how loud is your hd and which one did you get?

    I have the Seagate 7200.1. It's probably the quietest hard drive I've ever used.

    My 80GB 5400RPM drive is silent. The part number isn't in the system service parts list, so I don't know what brand it is.
