My bargain SATA drives are Samsungs, and they are still quiet and have a
lot of time on them.  I agree about the noisy Maxtors.   I don't buy
"regular" WD drives but the Raptors were the highest performance I could
get at the time and I put them in RAID on an AMD64 box and that's made
for a pretty zippy system.
