Western Digital WD400

WD also offers two smaller drives WD200 and WD300 at 20 and 30 GB. Each comes with ATA/100 interface and 2 MB cache memory. Those WD drives are also equipped with the acoustic management feature, but you will have less benefit due to the higher spindle speed. While acoustic management reduces access noise, it won't make the 63 dB of idle noise disappear.
