I had 3 of those exact hard drives in my PC for over a year. I just recently replaced them with 300GB SATA2 drives, and I can tell you that I really notice and miss the speed, but one thing I do not miss is the noise. Those drives were loud as hell - not just the whine of the drive motors as the platters were spinning, but you could actually hear the heads moving quite loudly.

They are very fast though and I could load renegade maps in under a second. If not for the noise reduction that I am enjoying, I would put them and my SCSI card back into my machine.

They are server-class drives though and not meant for "home" PC use.
