    The Plextor 716A is one of the quietest drives I know, and very smooth. However, that come at a price...about $100.

    The plextor PX-716A is very quiet. I got mine slightly used for $70 on ebay. Lots of other slightly used ones going for $80

    A lot better than the avg $140 for them brand new.

    The benq 1650 is pretty quiet,but hard to find.
