Looking to replace my noisy old drive with a 1TB drive, any recomendatioins for a reliable quiet drive. Looking at a Samsung spinpoint are they any good?

I have 8 of these wonderful drives.
I just purchased the eight last week and I got it for 74$ about once a month they have a deal. However the default 84$ price isn't bad either.
I've been buying this drive for the last 12 months. Everytime my current amount of TB fills ups I purchase a new one of these. They all are running strong. Matter of fact I've been purchasing Western Digital for 8 years and have only had 2 drives fail on me. I got tons of old pre-terabyte IDE/sata1.0 drives laying around.
Take note these drives don't make good main drives. They are "green" and don't spin as fast.
