Default good fast and quite HDD?

I'm looking for a pair of disks to use in a raid 0 setup.
I was thinking of going for a couple of raptors but I hear they're quite
noisy and since this is planned to be a audio studio workstation, I need
them to be as silent as possible. On the other hand, I already have a
couple of seagate SATA 80 GB 7200rpm 8MB cache disks so I really need
something faster.
Capacity is not an issue as long as they're at least 70GB a piece, but if
possible 100GB + would be better.


While early Raptors were noisy, current ones are quiet. I have a pair of
74s in one machine and a 150 in the other.
