recommendations: which new harddrive to my good old Inspir..

I have a 20GB IBM DJSA-220 drive on my I8K. It does its job and 20GB is enough for me,
but I would like a less noisy and faster drive.
Any recommendations?

Powerdrain is no issue. The battery is almost dead anyway.

That is a good example of what kind of information you can get from Dell. Nothing about
noise level, nothing about performance. Just warranty and compatibility....
