Pros: Great hard drive, high capacity and really fast. Newegg shipped really fast, ordered on Friday, received Monday. Would recommend this to people wanting a relatively cheap SATA drive.

Cons: Installation was a bit frustrating, as my computer would not show the hard drive. I managed to find a deeply hidden BIOS setting to enable SATA, so check in your BIOS to enable SATA before installing this.

Overall Review: Cant comment on the noise as all the other parts in my computer drown out all the noise this thing could possibly make.
