HI
I currently have a 36gb raptor and a 250gb maxtor pata (7y250p0) the sound of the 250gb hdd is really annoying while im sleeping, i have been onto the maxtor website and i cant find details of my drive but i found one similar and it seems the new maxtors are a lot quieter, im thinking of buying a new 300gb maxtor since they are only about £70 or so but i have a couple of questions.
Are the newer maxtors really a lot more silent?
Would having another sata slow down my raptors performance since it would be going through the same controler?
Btw speed isnt really an issue as its only used for storage and backup, all my games and all are on my raptor.
Thank you for any advice.
