" whats the quietest "

the ones that spin at less than 7200 rpm. (also usually the lower the rotational speed the lower the power consumption too)

I can not understand people's obsession with overly large harddrives, 120GB is plenty enough, all data on my harddrives are subject to deletion within short(unless it is for work, in which case it will never fill 120GB anyway). Hence I find an SSDs to be plenty and the best harddrives one can possible purchase.

point taken, but this will also be a major backup disk for my home videos/photos which are about 250gb already. so if u dont have an answer to the topic question above, zip your lip and move on
