Get a CF card, configure it sanely, make regular backups and accept that 
it'll die in five or ten years. Getting a Soekris and then spoling it 
with a loud consumerware hard drive is sacrilege.

Or if you're dead set of a hard drive and can find out what drive a 
HTE541040G9AT00 is, that one is good. I have one in my office desktop 
(a hush/via box) and it's nice and quiet. Can't remember its brand or 
name any more, though.
