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.

thanks

Get HD silencers and you won't be able to hear anything from HDs.

had no idea that even existed.. thanks.
Still not sure which disk to take, though. But I guess raptor is now a
viable option.

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