toshiba drives are generally quieter than the IBM drives..
the IBM drives being prone to spindle noise more so than some other manufacturers..

i have a couple of toshiba 18gig drives i will sell on a special..
but before anyone jumps, the IBM 30gig drives are shipping and i should get some
wednesday..
then i'll test one on my 770Z and A20p..
