I've got one of those WD 2500KS 250 GB drives, and it works plenty fast and quiet, esp. given the price. Design's a bit long in the tooth tho, so the sooner their AA revisions hit the market the better off they'll be (assuming they're good!)
Hitachi seems to be on their way back - slowly - after the Deathstar 75GXP debacle. Cranking out (reliable) 1 TB drives is a good start.
Seagate had some winners in the Barracuda IV and 7200.7, but acoustics started taking a back seat to low price -- don't get me wrong, the 7200.10 drives are great performers, but they are noticeably noisier than the 2500KS, for example.
