yes i agree

I'm looking for a 80gb, 120gb or 160gb notebook hard drive for my laptop. I have an Asus s62j and I have a Hitachi travelstar 80gb in there 5400rpm sata, it is not bad, doesn't get hot, just warm and is not really loud. I want to find something that is whisper silent good cool temperature 5400rpm an...

nice build

will the double platter 120GB HD have the same noise level as the single platter 80GB SP0802N? No. It may be similar but not the same. There is twice the mass moving inside the drive there is also twice the kinetic energy involved. 2) Does the 120GB SP1213N have AAM? Yes. Even then I haven't seen i...

1) I'm wondering, since Samsung's HD are 80GB per platter, will the double platter 120GB HD have the same noise level as the single platter 80GB SP0802N? 2) Does the 120GB SP1213N have AAM? 3) I am looking for a silent hard drive and I am planning to buy a Samsung SP1213N. Is the SP1213N a good hard...

I'm planning to buy a Samsung 80GB SP0802N at a local store. Since this harddrive is in those plastic see-through cases, is it possible to see if it is a JVC or a NIDEC motor by looking at the bottom of the hd case? Is the stamp visible? (since I don't think I can open the case and see what motor it...

I asked a shop here and he said the 80GB SP0812N will be a lot more expensive than the SP0802N that sells for CA$90-100 in many stores here. I asked another shop (Korean) and they said that Samsung doesn't ship the SP0812N here.

Just get the SP0802N, 2MB Cache is fast enough.

Neither are very quiet. That samsung is using a 2/3" height case that is NOT as quiet as the 1" 80G, 120G and 160G models. The 7200.7 is no longer even in our recommended list: No quiet seek and idle is not as quiet as the origincal B-IV or V. I recommend an 80G Samsung, personally. They're fast an...

Which one would you pick? Samsung PL40Series SP0411N? http://www.samsung.com/Products/HardDiskDrive/SpinPointPSeries/HardDiskDrive_SpinPointPSeries_SP0411N.htm or Seagate 7200.7 ST340014A? http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/marketing/detail/0,,583,00.html I can't decide between these two....

Thanks

Are both Seagate Cuda IV 60Gb (ST360021A) and Cuda V 60Gb (ST360015A) single platter?

Or is one of them single platter and the other one is double platter?

After doing some quick reseach, the ST340014A is not a Barracuda IV right? The ST340016A is a cuda IV right? Do you guys know is the ST340016A is still available to buy in Vancouver? Or should I just get the ST340014A instead? Is the ST340014A just as silent as the ST340016A? Are there any advantage...

I'm looking for a silent hard drive and all I need is like a 40GB hard drive. I keep reading on silentpcreview that the Seagate Barracuda IV is very silent. I'm just wondering if this model HD is a Barracuda IV. SEAGATE BARRACUDA 40GB ATA 2MB 7200.7 ST340014A SEAGATE BARRACUDA 80GB ATA IV 2MB 7200 S...
