To be fair, i haven't owned a WD drive since the IDE days so my opinion on their noise levels is most likely completely null and void but yeah, see my previous post for a good PS3 WD drive.

Ah I got a bunch of their green power drives over the last time I put bigger disks in and the first time I turned the thing on I had to put my ear to the drive to check it was running.

Very quiet now :>

WD GP drives are very quiet spinning, but seek noise is very noticeable. I've got four stacked up. My old WD drives are very loud indeed.

I tend to always buy Seagate as a rule - 5 year warranty, etc. As soon as I get round to it, I'll swap the drive out - 80GB isn't exactly going to store all my music and other stuff.

Not sure about the PlayTV now though as TBH I don't watch that much TV other than stuff I've downloaded.
