Can anyone recommend a relatively quiet 2-4GB 7200RPM Ultra-SCSI disk, suitable for office desktop use? I replaced a Barracuda 2LP (which squeals like a pig on a dental drill) with an old 4GB Atlas (which sounds like a blender full of gravel when it seeks), but I'd like something a bit faster and quieter. Actually, it wasn't the volume of the 'cuda that bothered me so much as the pitch of the squeal, which set my teeth on edge. OTOH, I can't hear my CD player over the Atlas seeking without cranking it to a neighbor-disturbing volume. Any comments on the Hawk 4XL, Viking I/II, Ultrastar 2XP, etc?
