QUIET external drive for Time Machine

[sprugman]

I'm looking to get a new drive to use with my MacBook for Time Machine. My current one (something from iomega) clicks like crazy whenever the backup runs, and drives me nuts.

I probably only need 250-320 GB, though I might get a larger one and partition it, using the other half for media, as I'm doing with the Iomega. My top priorities are a) quiet, b) off switch. Any recs?

Have a look at the WD MyBook range. I have two and have never noticed them when running. An older drive I have (something with a Maxtor drive in but no brand) makes so much noise I can hear even if the TV is on.

OWC range are good.
