Tested WD5002AALX and WD1002FAEX a couple of days ago and it seems that you're right. =) The drives make annoying sound if mounted into metal old-style drive cage (like in most InWin cases). But "good" cases with vibration-isolation reduce noise level greatly.

Got my working HDD broken yesterday. External HDDs lack endurance a lot, everyday carrying and heavy usage make it break very, very fast. So I decided to replace it with something less fragile and bought the Crucial M4 SSD. It's lightning fast, even though I got 64Gb model. It's almost twice as fast as my old X25-M. Expected lifetime for M4 is 72Tb Host Writes. So you're damn right - M4 drives are great!

inb4, shearing Windows image can cause some funny bugs and is not recommended.
P.S. Moving to ru-RU realms was a huge mistake. I need more practice in English, srsly XD
