I would strongly recommend you the FUJITSU M1606SA its the best drive 
I have ever had and I had lots of drives already. I has 5 years of warranty,
it's faster than the Seagate and the Conner and only little slower than 
the Fireball but it is MUCH more silent than the Fireball (which sounds 
more like a thunderbolt... :-), in fact the Fujitsu is the most silent drive
I have ever experienced.
On the tecnical side it spins at 5400Upm and has 512KB cache (much
more than the 128KB of the Fireball which wastes 32KB of them for internal
pourposes...). The formatted capacity is 1091567616 bytes (just to avoid
misinterpretations of what a MB is).
The price (at least here in Europe) is almost the same for all above drives.
