Samsung makes great ultra quiet, low-power drives; they're one of the first to use fluid dynamic bearing motors. I use one (well the 3.5" version) in my quiet PC and recommend them highly. Not sure how their shock handling (probably the most important quality for an empeg) stacks up to other brands though. Their datasheet claims 200G operating or 250G non-operating shock tolerance for the M40S series.
