Needs to be:
Reasonably quick (ie above the 70mb\s that my existing drive gets)
Not excessively noisy (this Seagate gives me a headache)
16mb cache would be nice, unless its shown this isnt beneficial
Reliability would be a plus, RMA'ing is a hassle
Maxtor DM10 wont work with Nforce 4, Hitachi I'm not sure about, Samsung drives sacrifice speed for less noise, and the WD drive I bought is a) slow and b) has a temperature sensor problem.
