Hitachis are great as well as seagate. I have a Hitahi HD in my desktop, it makes no sounds and has run great for me. I have Heard that the 500 GB gets hot so you may want to get a hard drive cooler.
I have heard some good things about the hitachi deskstars. Also, correct me if im wrong, but I have heard that harddrive coolers are loud and dont help very much...

LOL, I am good... My case... Mountain Mods U2-UFO, with 12 120mm fans, two of them directly on my hard drives, soon to be another 3 80mm's, I only have one ATM.
Yea...everything I've read about those 500giggers is good. They perform well in benchmarks and actually utilize the SATA 2 standard (which most new sata 2 drives don't do).
