SP1614N is the drive I've got too.  Its unbelievably quite.  I've
heard some complaints about vibrational noise, but I don't get that. 
I think it has to do with my 8 year old steel case.  For a while I
unpluged my CPU fan (500 Mhz P3) and the whole system was inaudible. 
That configuration wasn't compatible with mythcommflag though.
