Quietest hardrives

Hi all, am looking to upgrade my system/sample library drives, 2x500gb - what's the consensus on the quietest models presently

Seagate 7200.10
Western Digital
Maxtor
Hitachi

All SATA II.

I've got Seagates & WD's now, but they're old models (3-5yrs), the Seagates are actually older, and I've not had any trouble with them at all. but I've heard good reports of the WD's on the noise front. Have got a new MacPro coming and would like it to be as quiet as possible, so any opinions welcome.

Cheers
