I have 2x 160GB Samsung HDD's right now that I have soft mounted. They are very quiet; however RAID isn't working out for me and I will be selling them. I reread a lot of SPCR articles and was wondering: The WD5000KS gets incredible marks. Does this apply to the entire range of the WDxxxxKS series o...

Unfortunately i didn't see availability or pricing in the article either. Perhaps SPCR can get a sample of this thing and review it and tell us even more about it (including release date and whatnot):)

Now i wonder how it runs with out that fan that is probably insanely noisy.

Its looking good, but im wondering if it may not fit in the P180 cases with HDD's installed in that bay.

At any rate this looks like it might be the answer to the noisy chipset problems.

Mike,

I thought you mentioned that you would put a review of the Single Platter Seagate 7200.9 HDD up. If you aren't is there anyway you can let me know how it performs in comparison to the Samsung and the older 7200.7's.

Thanks,
-Kevin

I have a 7200.9 160GB in my hands right now. Next on the HDD review list. At idle, all the Seagates are pretty good -- excepting odd tones like the 1.5khz one in our 500GB sample -- but in seek, the absence of AAM is impossible to ignore. float it in suspension, and it gets a whole lot better, of c...

While the Spinpoints are still supposed to be quieter, and the fact that Seagate focused more on performance, the .9’s are supposed to be very quiet anyways. While no new technology was released look at the platter density. The 160gig Seagate has 1 platter with 2 heads. That is bound be at least a l...

I wouldn't recommend Abit. They are having a lot of monetary problems. Additionally, their boards, as a result, have become very poorly made, and unstable.

I would go for the Asus, since you aren't looking to do any extreme OCing.

-Kevin

You said you were young then, how old are you now!?! Seriously, no offense, but PLEASE PROOFREAD. It was that painful and hard to understand. Ok, you selections seem to be pretty sound for your new system: The motherboard is OK, but you might want to look at Asus, DFI, MSI, Epox. Next, for the proce...

While it would work it is a rather pointless upgrade. I would do one of the following: 1. Upgrade the entire system (Preferably to A64) 2. OC that system. The 2.4B OC's phenominally. It would be an utter waste of your money to go and simply buy another chip that is barely faster and almost 2 generat...

I noticed in the review Mike said that there wasn't a PCI-E VGA connector. If there is a later model out, does it have one.

In otherwords, are the 430's that are shipping now equipped with a PCI-E connector.

-Kevin

So it looks like i am going to go with the 500 then. The 430 doesn't have any PCI-E connectors.

Im probably better off with the 500Watt anyways.

Do you guys think i will NOTICE a difference after i switch PSU's, in terms of noise.

Thanks,
-Kevin

Ok well then 2 questions: Will both the 430 and the 500 Watt versions reach the ATX power connector on the DFI board in an Antec P180. Is the ATX cord long enough? In the 430's review, it said that it doesn't have any PCI-E VGA connectors. That is something i WILL need. Do the recent versions have t...

I recently got an OCZ Powerstream 520Watt PSU. (God is it a monster). It is really quiet, but, from what i hear, it cant hold a candle to Seasonic. The other day my father said he was in the market for a new PSU. Eager to help i said i would sell mine to him if he wanted. So it looks like im going t...

Well in that case would it be beneficial for me to get a Samsung Spinpoint HDD? -Kevin If you're happy with the performance then you can't go too far wrong with the Spinpoint, especially if you can source one with a Nidec motor. I have one with a JVC motor (which doesn't whine) and it is marginally...

Will the fact that the Seagate drive has only 1 platter help at all.

Additionally, the 7200.9 and the Samsung drive are both spec'd at 2.5 bels idle, and 2.8 seek. If the .9 is so much louder wouldn't that spec be wrong.

Well in that case would it be beneficial for me to get a Samsung Spinpoint HDD?

If I were you, I'd buy a Western Digital hard drive instead. Seagate's hard drive have been getting louder with every generation. What kind of silent enthusiast are you. I have never heard someone reccommend a WD HDD for silent/near silent operation. I dont mean to come across rude, but WD is out o...

I am considering begining the upgrade of my computer. I have the basic H/W picked out, but i now need new HDD(s). I would LIKE to use a RAID-0 array (simply for experience and what not) so i am considering selling my 120gb 7200.7 drive in favor of 2x 7200.9 160gb drives. My only concern is quiet. Ri...

Hmmm... if it is kind of noisy then i will stick with what i have :\

Yep that is what i meant

I heard that some new updated Panaflos have been released. Unfortunately i can only find it in some UK place. Google turns up nothing. Does anybody have any info on this?
