Anyone have advice for finding QUIET hard drives? I keep a machine in the
living room at home, and it is noisy. I bought one of those Costco 20GB
drives a few years ago (Western Digital IDE) and it has a high pitched
whine that just cuts through the case and computer hutch.  It sounds like
a fan that is out of alignment, and in fact for a long time I thought it
was a fan making the noise.

I'd like to replace the drive with something quieter, but before I go
shopping I thought I'd ask around about models people might know of that
are quieter than others.

Cheers,

James
