Harddrive (1 Viewer)

I´m going to buy a new harddrive for my HTPC...


Which one should i choose??

SATA 7200 RPM is the only requirements... And of course it should be as silent as possible

Have 3 seagates in mine and do not hear them, but so many people like the samsung spinpoints as well.

hmmm you really do make giving you a definitive answer hard work.

Simply there is no such thing as the best, only what you like.

I've used Seagates, Samsungs, and Maxtors in sizes from 80-400GB, and the quietest by a loooong way are the Samsungs. The new T range in 3, 4, or 500GB are really good, just a low rumble which you won't hear at all from >1m, no matter how quiet your room is.

OK, so a samsung T166 320 GB with 16 MB cache would be what i´m looking for. right?

I don't know that one - I'd suggest the T133 300GB, or 400GB, or maybe even the 500GB if you're feeling flush

ok... anyone knows if there´s any improvements in the T166 or should i choose the T133? =)
