Seagate Momentus 7200.4 320GB noise & vibration?

Anybody here is using this HD (it's not 7200.3!! It's 320GB 7200.4 version). I am wondering if it produces noticeable noise or vibration or high temperature in the Macbook pro.

I am considering WD Scorpio Blue 500GB 5400 RPM or this Seagate Momentus 7200.4 320GB. I've read some tests results that it outperforms other competitors, including the WD 500GB one. But I am concerned about the temperature, vibration, or noise.

Any input would be much appreciated!! Thanks again.

MBP 2.4G, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Well... I don't disagree with you. However, what's funny is that it is said Apple "locks" this feature so consumers don't update to SSD hard drives by themselves.... if we upgrade to SSD from Apple online store, then it will be "unlocked" to 3GB/s.... It seems Apple knows what they are doing..... ha ha... in a way that I don't feel comfortable....
