smaller, quiet drives

Where could I find a hard drive 6-20 gb, inexpensive, and at least as quiet as a barracuda?

I need it for a 24-7 internet/MP3 computer.

I have an old 15GB Maxtor CompUSA one that's quiet, but I don't know how quiet it is compared to other drives. It's mounted in a way that one would expect to hear a lot of vibration, but I've never had a problem with it while working at 3:00 a.m. when everyone else is asleep.
