	I have some (read: several) Caviar drives which sound like they
have had bad bearings for 2+ years. You can keep them reasonably quiet by
burying them between a frame and a floppy drive, however.

	I also have a Fujitsu IDE drive which is actually the fastest drive
I own, but sounds like a jet engine on a fighter jet about to destroy a
small village.

	My problem with the majority of Fujitsu drives is that they run
So Damn HOT .. if I don't have an extra cooling fan blowing directly on
this particular drive, it gets too hot to touch in half an hour.

Cheers,
Phil
