It is fanless, and so pretty quiet, though there's some chatter when I first retrieve music, esp. if it has been idle for a while. It is more attractive than most, if your reason for quiet is that you want to keep it with your kit. Also offered in RAID configurations.

I almost bought one, but it requires a USB>Firewire 800 adapter and the adapter has received mixed reviews from owners, so I didn't proceed.
