Its basically a solid aluminum enclosure for your drive. You need a 5.25 slot to make it work. It works partly by being so massive that vibrations are reduced. I don't have one. I started to buy one (or something similar) after my last drive got cooked in my Silentdrive enclosure, but didn't want to spend the money on that. That was basically a plastic case with sound absorbtion material. In short it was little more than an oven, which explains why that drive got RMA'd about 10 months after I bought it.
Disclaimer: I have never purchased from that site. The result was found using google.

Thanks for all your replies. I agree that the cost benefits don't really make sense, but I'm willing to do it if it would make that big of a deal. It sounds like it won't...
I did some searching and found this:

They list drives made by Samsung as having quiet performance. Newegg has (what appears to be a newer model of) them:

How about recommendations in the 3.5" arena, since 2.5" seems
cost/performance prohibitive?
