Need an external hard drive

    Im looking for a fast and quiet external hard drive to host all my media on. My current setup is this... I have an iMac downstairs in the living room, a lacie 500GB hard drive upstairs connected to my Airport Extreme and an apple tv in the living room aswell. I am hosting my iTunes library, about 400GB on the network connected hard drive. I am running iTunes on the iMac and then streaming from there to my apple tv. The problem is the networked drive is just too slow to stream video properly and I get constant skipping and stuttering. I can sync content fine but what I really wanted the apple tv for was streaming. I can plug the hard drive into the iMac directly downstairs and that makes a massive improvement to performance, usually no skipping at all. The problem with this approach is the hard drive is noisier than a room for of xbox 360s, and it drives me mental!
    Can anyone recommend an extremely quiet external drive firewire or usb 2. It needs to be at least 500GB but ideally id like to get a TB. Cheers
