Looking for a new HDD

Hi,

Going to order my hard drive for a DFI Ultra-D on a setup i'm building.

Want a nice quick/quiet hard drive. Would this be pretty good?

Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 2500KS SATA-II 16MB Cache

or

Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB WD360GD 10,000RPM SATA 8MB Cache

Cheers.

ok cool thanks, glad you said that! More space hehe

Are they pretty quiet? Will a DFI Ultra-D work with SATAII cos i dont see nothing on the site apart from just "SATA" :confused:

Yes it will, but you might have to enable it with a manufacturers utility as by default they are in 'standard' SATA mode not SATA II mode.
