I have been selling HD's on ebay for the past 5 years. It is becoming very difficult to find the used drives now so I don't sell many anymore so I am happy to share what I know. The Quantum Maverick 500mb is nice and quiet and so is the Quantum Prodrive LPS 80-700mb. The conner drives that I tried were horrible. They spun up quickly enough but I could hear them from the other room. One of my Emax II's at home in my studio has two Quantum Prodive LT 730mb drives in it. They format to about 690mb. But you can hear them. I know people are generally looking for the quietest thing out there but with the age of these older HD's you are never going to find anything that is silent. I have always recorded my synth tracks direct and when it's time to use a mic I just turn everything else off. That or get a vocal booth that you can use. For live performace who cares about a little HD noise if you can hear that over the sound of the crowd then you didn't sell enough tickets. Anyway I suggest looking for the Quantum Maverick 500 or the Quantum Prodrive LPS 500 (540S) Put a jumper on A0 this will set the drive to SCSI ID#1 and go for it.
