Here is my Spinpoint F1, pretty average figures for its size but it's whisper quiet and runs more or less at room temperature most of the time.
I used to have a SCSI drive and a raptor in my old system but to be honest i don't miss them, they were more "snappy" off the mark but the transfer speeds weren't great and they both sounded like a lawn mower chewing a box of spanners.
