My friends 1.07GHz iBook had a weird issue last week with its stock drive.
After the grey loading screen, it would just sit at the blue screen and you can hear the hard drive trying to load something, but it sounded stuck.
Erased the hard drive and installed OS X again, all is well now. It does make me wonder if its going out soon.
It probably has to do with how warm it gets. I found this handy piece of software to help. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25043/g4fancontrol
I would say its worth the extra noise, plus its variable speed.
