What is the quietest 750GB-1TB S-ATA II 3.5" hard drive that anyone knows about? I got myself a nice OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro "Quad" enclosure for Christmas for my 300GB Seagate 7200.8 S-ATA hard drive but I'm royally hating this drive, when it was in my old computer on the floor in a loud system I couldn't hear it but its the loudest most annoying thing on my desk now, very noisy when it seeks.

I was thinking about getting the same model drive that is in my iMac but of a larger capacity, but that might be a different situation, the iMac is a lot more dense of an enclosure.
