I powered down a bunch of machines while I was out of town for a week,
and my SS20 failed to come back up - lack of disk noise suggested the 
disk had frozen (must be at least 5 years old so no surprise).

I had a SUN 1G drive in my spares box to confirm the above, but it is
way too noisy.

Can anyone recommend a suitable drive - the dead one is a
ST34371WC
it was a tad noisy but nothing like the 1G.
I'd assumed I want to avoid 10,000 RPM disks but that seems to be the
slowest scsi drives seagate make?
