My friend is looking for a huge capacity drive

The highest one I've seen is a firewire drive with 300gb, but it only runs at 5400rpm. He's also looking for relatively quiet and not extremely hot.

Western Digital isn't an option.

Maxtor or WD have just released a 400gb 7200rpm SATA drive

Wasn't WD.

It was Seagate I think ...

Ah - Hitachi, in fact. Linkage provided:

The only thing I don't like about it is that Hitachi gobbled up IBM, and I've still got the bad taste of 75GXP's (NOT going to buy drives from IBM/Hitachi, if I can help it).

Ah - Seagate too. Even on our own forums. See here:

Bear in mind though - these monsters will likely be LOUD...
