Just figured I'd share... need to get it replaced. Other than that, I'd say that WD and Maxtor are the bottom-run IMO. I don't know about Hitachi/IBM now (I got burned on three DeathStars a few years back). Indifferent on Samsung.

Another vote for seagate. I have a 200G 7200.7 (PATA version) that's been running great for a while now. It is almost silent, very fast compared to the 60G maxtor that I had before it, and barely even gets warm to the touch.
On a side note, I've been looking into getting another of the exact same, to perhaps set up a raid array, and I've notived the price on them has gone up since I first bought it. I guess they've been popular.

I did some sheet metal modifications to my Pundit drive bay so that I could add cooling. Hopefully with this new drive I can remove the cooler, as it is the noisiest item in the case by far.
Nope, nothing special. I've even lately taken to keeping my pundit in a cabinet (granted, big hole cut out of the back of it).
I do have an optical drive in there, but it's unplugged, so it won't generate any heat like it might if it was plugged in.
