I'm currently debating whether to get this Seagate drive or this WD drive

Both are 320GB 7200RPM drives but the Seagate has NCQ which i hear is a good thing but at the same time i want minimal noise/vibration which i feel the Seagate will have
 
The Seagate look tempting. I've heard the Scorpio Black is pretty noisy so I would get the Seagate, unless SSD or 5400rpm drive is an option

Yeah i heard the same around the forums too. No SSD for me...still too expensive and i currently have a 5400RPM drive which the new drive will be replacing.
