They are *VERY* quiet (can't hear them over my dual 5400 RPM fans), run very cool (in a $38 case of their own), and have a 5 year warranty. And of course, they have half the seek times as the best 7200RPM IDE drive on the market. There is no comparison. >scsi may be a little faster. with the fastest ide drives Little faster? Try twice.
