I already own a 10K.6, planning to get a 15K.3 to complement it on Xmas.
Ah side note: the 10K.6 is incredible ! The motor noise is low and deep (not a high-pitched whine..), and seek noises are dampened enough. It's even more silent than recent IDE drives (WD and Maxtor) i bought at work ! Just as any 7.2K+ drive it *requires* active cooling though... It's not quite hot but if left alone it becomes uncomfortable to touch.
If you cannot get a 15K.3 it's really the next one to get !
