+1 on the Samsung SP1614N

I went with one of these drives. The first time I fired the machine
up, I thought the drive was DOA as it was silent. There is no whine
from rotation and head movement is the quietest I've even heard. It's
quieter than all the 2.5" drives I've used.

Performance numbers are about average for 7200rpm drives.
