...oh yeah, why did I choose WD ?? ...postings said it's the quietest of all. In my Dell 4400 desktop the WD (which was so quiet I had to look at the light to see if the box was running) failed after over 5 yrs and I replaced it with a Seagate Barracuda which is noisier, not real bad but not quiet. In the x31 I have a Toshiba 5400 and it's very quiet. The cooling fan almost never comes on.
