What's the noise level of the raptor compared to the SE? Is it much louder?

Very quiet, no hi-speed whine either.

Anbody here know if serial ATA hard drives require some kind of power adapter? It doesn't look like (from pictures on newegg.com) that it is a standard molex connector? Thinking about purchasing a Raptor so any input is welcome. Thanks.

If you're looking at WD Raptor, it accepts either the old 4-pin connector or new SATA power connector. I'm using the old kind.

Don't know about other SATA drives.
