my concern is noise ...i want something more quiet than performance...

I'd recommend a Seagate.

I have a 5400 RPM Seagate and it's fine. If you do a search, you can check out my thread where I had a handfull of problems with the Scorpio Blue (400 and 500GB). I was getting clicks every 30 seconds and it was pretty loud.

The Seagate that I got now is quiet and I have no problems with it :)
