Loud? Doubt it. Hot? Nope. Slow? Not for the price.

Yes, it does run warm. I've got one sitting bare on the desk hooked up to a USB adapter and it's too hot to pick up. I think that's part of the reason I've had to RMA 4 of these .10's.
Next to a Maxtor, though, this thing seems like an iceberg...

I have had to RMA a 300GB 7200.10 four times. The only thing I use it for now is installing games on and a pagefile.
