[QUOTE="sixgun, post: 514455, member: 71410"] I used to use 2.5" SATA HDDs in my 2 client PCs, but I got fed up of the constant clicking noise coming from one of them. I think it was a Western Digital drive. I found out it was the over aggressive power saving feature on the drive trying to park the heads every 20 seconds or so. Since I use a server for everything and the only thing I actually needed on the local hard drive was the operating system and media portal, I went down the SSD route. And I have to say, it's fantastic. Zero noise and heat. I've even changed the PSU in my hiper media case for a picoPSU-150, so I have a completely silent system now. All I need now is to find a nice little case just big enough for the motherboard and the SSD. If you're interested I can find out the model number of the annoying clicky drive. Regards. [/QUOTE]
