Summary: I purchased this ST360021A Seagate drive mostly due to it's sound level of <2bels. It is so quiet, I had to touch it to even tell it was spinning. You will think that it is not working. Track to track seeks are very quiet also. Now most of the noise from my system, come from the fans.

Summary: I bought this drive beacause of good reviews that stated how quiet it is, and I haven't been disappointed since It's a very quiet drive, with good performance. In daily use it feels just as fast as my "old" Deskstar 75GXP 40GB. Although it's price could have been lower.

- Manufacturer: Seagate Technology
- Part number: ST360021A
- Description: Seagate offers you the fastest PC hard drive ever, the Barracuda ATA IV. The kicker: a revolutionary Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor makes the super-fast drive the world's only virtually silent hard drive. Barracuda ATA IV is the only desktop disk drive shipping exclusively with FDB motors - a technology that will also enable engineers to fit more data on a disk surface and increase hard drive spin speeds far beyond what traditional motors allow. Using the most advanced data density technology in the industry, Barracuda ATA IV is the first 7,200-rpm disk drive to achieve 80 GB giving Seagate a significant advantage in the high-performance PC storage market. The drive's record-breaking internal transfer rate is fast enough to copy an hour of MP3 music in one second. Barracuda ATA IV is fast enough to stream eight movies simultaneously, in DVD quality, without dropping a frame.
