Quiet, Reliable Hard Drive

I think that my existing HD (an Other World Computing Mercury Pro Elite) is about to give up the ghost, and want to find another HD to replace it. The OWC was always noisy, and it is likely due to the Hitachi drive within. Anyhow, I'm looking for something 500gb, quiet, reliable. One great deal is the Western Digital Mybook , though I'm not too sure of it's reliability.

Any advice on good HD's to consider? I had a bad experience with LaCie, so am hesitant about it. Thoughts?

Thanks, Peter

I bought a Seagate drive in a Mercury Firewire enclosure from OWC this year. Here's their description of the drive model:

250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA II 7200RPM 16MB W/ Perpendicular Drive Technology

It was one of the best computer buys I've made. The drive is fast and quiet and the price was low enough that even shipped to Canada it was a deal. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to OWC for another Seagate if I needed it.
