Cool & Quiet are what you want. Then Size, then way way down on the list is speed. I recently had a drive failure in my series 2 TiVo and tossed in a pair of extra drives I had kicking around (A 200GB and 250GB drive) just to get it back up and running. I can hear them working when my TV is off, but my hearing is bad enough that my volume on my TV is always higher than it really should be, so that drowns out the HDD noises.
I will eventually get myself either a series 3 or a TiVo HD and upgrade that as far as it'll go. But I'm still saving for that.
