I've been very happy with my two Seagate 31230N (AKA Hawk 2LP) 
1GB drives.  My standard benchmark of copying a 100MB file to
NUL in DOS shows a sustained read rate of 4.3 MB/sec (with an
Adaptec 2842 VLB controller in a DX4/100 PC).  The drives are 
extremely quiet, both at idle and while seeking.
