Seagate has the barracuda U series drives which are 5400 rpm, but the
performance is a bit sub par.

Is this a 5400 drive? I have a barracuda IV and it was v quiet when new, but
after a year it has some idle whine about it, and I am worried about heat
putting it in a "silentdrive" thing.  However, I have an older 5400 disk in
an AMD 450Mhz (with a slow 80mm fan on the CPU), and that is completely
silent in comparison....

I think speed is less important than noise, I wonder if anyone does a super
silent 5400 drive...?  A Barracuda 5400 would be great...

(Actually I just looked up the specs on this drive and the claimed noise is
the same as for the Barracuda V I think...)

Tricky...
