How many hard drives have you had to compare it to? I've had 11 seagate drives in total, and none were obnoxiously loud, but they certainly weren't silent.
I never really knew the difference until I tried my Hitachi Deskstar, it's virtually silent.
As for the 7200.11 being fast, there are many cases where the 7200.10 outperforms it...don't get me wrong, it's still an awesome drive...but it's nothing amazing and if what he wants is speed and silence I don't think I'd recommend a seagate.
only 3. My last seagate was loud. it was actually a bit irritating. I'm just saying this one IS quiet, because I cannot hear it. If it's not possible for me to hear something, i'm assuming its quiet. wether thats a blind assumption or not I don't know, but it seems to make sense to me.
i've heard too many horror stories about the deathstar XD cool that its quiet though.
