Hi guys, just found a preview of the new Western Digital 2.0 TB drive... can't wait!

http://hothardware.com/News/WD-2TB-Cavi ... e-Preview/

I second bendit's comments. I own a WD 1TB GP drive and it's been fine, no problems.

I'll freely admit I'm not as hardcore as some with respect to absolutely needing to know the number of platters or spindle speeds. I like a quiet computer too, but at the end of the day my criteria for a hard drive is: (1) does it perform well, and (2) is it quiet? The RPM and number of platters are...

Looks like the Western Digital 1TB GreenPower is now available for retail sale: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... subcat=940

FYI, I have ordered from this site before as a Canadian without any problems.

Samsung drives are not available yet. Someone posted a link recently to a German web site that was listing a release date of October, which would be probably the third time its been delayed. I have ordered a (supposely pre-release version) of the Western Digital 1TB GreenPower drive, which should ar...

I have the Hitachi 750GB model and am very happy with it. I don't have any acoustic measuring equipment, but noise levels seem comparable to the Western Digital 500GB 5000YS drive I have. I have also recently ordered the WD 1TB GreenPower drive, and have high hopes that it will be a quiet and cool p...

Well, the Samsung 1TB is now supposedly in stock according to this French retailer: http://www.toutpourlamicro.com/article. ... rer=clubic

Hopefully it will arrive in North America (or even England) sometime soon!

BTW - did SPCR get out of the business of writing reviews? I was wondering the same thing. I remember how I used to read at least once a week reports about new coolers or any other component for that matter. Now, I only turn to silentpcreview when I have to see the usability of older components, wh...

I Google'd the search term "Samsung 1000gb" and came up with a few hits. This place in Germany appears to be selling it (at least several customers have reviewed it, so I think they are selling it): http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/Samsung_SpinPoint_F1_1000GB_16MB_SATA_II_HD102UJ_a260325.html All ...

Hitachi makes a 750GB version of this drive, using four platters instead of the five that are needed for the 1TB model. It has not received nearly as much press as the 1TB model, but here it is: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-033-HI&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=768 (and FYI f...

I just got the 750GB version of this drive and am very happy with it. It's at least as quiet as my 500GB Western Digital drive

Anitec Computers shows the Hitachi 1TB drives as in stock: http://www.anitec.ca/product/8878/hitac ... _drive_kit_/

... as does Infonec Computers: http://www.infonec.com/site/main.php?mo ... &id=342492

Hi all,

Looks like Western Digital has finally answered the large capacity bell: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... =HD-144-WD

I have high hopes for this drive, as I have the WD 500GB RE16 drive and am very pleased with it

I agree with Andy. I think you've got a bad DOA replacement somewhere, and it's messing up your troubleshooting.

North American availability. Unless you're thinking of some site I'm not familiar with, most other dedicated "silencing" websites are EU based, so their users tend to talk more about products that they can get there. Hi, can you point me at these EU websites? I'm in the UK but SPCR is the only sile...

Hello all, I found a cheaper price at Sharka Computers in the U.S.: http://sharkacomputers.com/zacn95ledcpu.html

Great thread guys, thanks! I've had a Phantom for about two months now, and it's been running great up until today. My Intel Active Monitor has gone off twice today, registering a warning that the power supply voltage has gone out of specified range. I checked my CPU temps and they're fine (mid-30ºC...
