    For those of you with this drive in the MS-1651, is it loud when seeking in this laptop? Trying to decide if I should get the Scorpio Blue over the Black.

    All I ever heard was occasional clicks, nothing else really. One thing, the WD Blacks seem to vibrate a little more than other 7200 RPM drives I have used, nothing major but pay attention to mounting.
