[microsound] noisy hard drive on mac

[i8u]

it is a FUJITSU MHW2160BHPL 160G,

i found out last night that this drive
is notoriously problematic.

one idea is now to upgrade to a seagate as hey
seem to be quiet.

if i do so, i wa told i will lose my warranty
but that it will be re instated if i re-install the original drive
if i av a problem with the laptop, other than the drive.

anyone ever done this before ?
