They are making a lot of noise about the technology ... but the numbers
are not that good :-)

Then again they only make higher rpm laptop drives and no high rpm drive seems 
to be
as quiet as a low rpm laptop drive.

I am really just trying to optimize the noise parameter
(totally disregarding performance) and ordered a
	IBM  Hitachi Travelstar 80GN 40GB ATA6 2.5in 4200RPM Mobile Hard Drive
since it had the lowest noise spec if could find in the datasheets.

Thanks
	Stephan
