I own 5 of these 320 gb seagate drives and one of the NS enterprise variety. They have given good service without a problem. I do not notice any noise, but I am not real picky unless the noise is really obnoxious. I purchased the first pair in August of 2006 and they have been running almost 24/7 since. The NS variety is rated for 24/7 use while the AS variety is not. I DO NOT like the way that NewEgg packages their oem drives for shipment. A couple wraps of bubble wrap and thrown in a box with styrofoam. I switched to Zip Zoom Fly for hard drives due to their full styrofoam box for the hard drive. Just my experience. YMMV.
