I just replaced my DJSA-220, which was a replacement for the original 6 gig drive in my Pismo. This was an 18 gig HD. It was getting too small, but it was also getting progressively louder. Judging from the similarity in model numbers I would say you don't have one of the liquid bearing ones. I replaced mine with a IBM Travelstar 40GN 40GB ATA/100 4200RPM 2.5in Mobile HD from Googlegear for $157.99. This is a fluid bearing model and is very quiet. It does still have that rattle when accessed, though.

I think it's the 30GN I've heard that about.
