Yes, that is correct. Please consider that the 101j and the 106e have 32 MB of RAM where other models (101, 106) have 64 MB. More memory greatly increases the "speed" of the Squeezebox and the Slimserver. It does not affect playing or any functionality, but searching, browsing and especially the web interface will work much smoother (faster, quicker) on a 64 MB model. The 101 has also an IDE interface but is not sold anymore. It's even rather rarely sold on ebay et al.
I would not recommend a 101j or a 101e from that point of view. The other models have SATA disk interfaces. You could put your harddisk into an usb enclosure and use that as a backup media (attached directly to the DS). Silence depends on the harddisk and where the box is. The 101 and the 101j do not have a ventilator and should therefore probably not be put into a cupboard (heat, convection). Then again, different harddisks produce more or less heat (as far as I know, the more GB, the hotter). The other DS models have a small ventilator. All DS models are rather silent, but you probably want to put it somewhere where noise does not matter (hallway, office, ..). "Ethernet over powerline" (devolo, netgear and other products) are a good way to connect the DS and the SB without additional cabling. A CS-406 (also Synology) is worth a look as well. It has a faster CPU (400 MHz, others: 266 MHz) and even more RAM (128 MB). The new CS-406e is 266 MHz and 64 MB.
