Well my second choice is a WD SCORPIO BLUE 500GB ( WD Scorpio
WD5000BEVT ) On paper it is just as good. So why not.

I am gonna go for the Seagate Momentus 5400.6 500GB ST9500325ASG. I have read good thinks about it.

Yes the WD Scorpio Blue 500GB WD5000BEVT get a good review. So it´s down to it and the Seagate Momentus 5400.6 250GB 5400rpm (2.5"). I think i will go for the Momentus, unless someone says that somethink else is better.

I have read from others that these are good. So what one would you buy.
Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB SATA 3.0Gbps (3.5")
Seagate Momentus 5400.6 250GB 5400rpm (2.5")
HITACHI Travelstar 5K500.B 250GB 5400rpm (2.5")
Seagate Momentus 7200.4 (2.5")

Hi all.
I am lokking for a silent harddisk, but have been out of the silence game for a while, and need a recommedation for a good one ( min. 150 GB to max 500 GB). What would you chose.
Morten.

I will go with the 1/2inch as well. I to always use the metric system. The other measurements have always confused me. We don´t use them in my country, except for some few lumber measurements and such.

Thanks for the advice ascl. The bit about the thicknes of the wall was unknown to me.

Thanks spookmineer for the heads up on the 11,1 mm could be to hard to fit to the Laing D5 pump. I will find another tube )12 mm ID). But why not go all the way up to Dimensions:19mm outer diameter; 13mm inner diameter, or are they to difficult to work with.
