        Hi,
        Is that not a 5400 rpm drive?  I think all the Quantum Atlas series
have always been 7200 rpm.  That speed tends to create that high-pitch whine.
        Reportedly, the new Seagate ST34572 series creates a bit less of a
whine (at least lesser than the ST34371) at the same rpm.

YMMV,
Kedar.
