Don't worry about noise -- seagate is famous for its line of very quite, let's 
say inaudible, drives.  And it doesn't hurt that they are 7200RPM.  It's 
better to have something and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Isaac, your email was a god-sent -- I was just looking for one, and this is a 
great deal.  Now, note to self -- don't forget to send that rebate form like 
I always do :-)
