With the latest bios, your T22 can handle the largest PATA 2.5" hard drive currently available....160GB. There is a larger 200GB drive that is supposed to be released by Fujitsu this month.

As for quietest, not really sure....my Hitachi is silent.

Also, you might want to stay away from Seagate. While I normally like Seagate drives, there have been several posts here about people installing brand new Seagate drives. I think I read that it had something to do with the firmware.
