Still great disks. (not counting a certain production batch of 75GXP
IBM disks of course :-))

At the moment the 7K250 is easily the fastest 7200 rpm disk that you
can buy. It also very quiet. (Quite a large difference to my DiamonMax
Plus9 disks)

What kind of sound does it make when moving the heads to prevent heat
buildup? Anything like the 1-2 second sound every 10 minutes for the
180GXP?

Don't know. I haven't heard that sound on my disk yet. (Installed it
about two weeks ago)
