Hi,

Anyone happen to know which of the current 7200rpm 2tb hard drives is the quietest?

Normally I go with Samsung for my hard drives as I've found them to be the quietest and mostly reliable, but the current 2tb samsung hdds only spin at 5400rpm :( and I want something a bit faster
 
Do you only want this for storage?

I ask because the cheapest 7,200prm 2TB drive on OcUK (Hitachi) is £86.99 and you can buy something like the Samsung F4 5,400rpm drive for £24 less.

If it's only for storage you're better saving your cash.
 
Is this just for storage?

Well yes and no, I was planning on getting a small ssd for my boot drive (not sure which yet) and then a large hdd for everything else,

There are various 3d apps that I use that will take up a large chunk of the ssd , I think at some point it will become inevitable that I'll have to install software to the hdd, plus most of the files saved out from the 3d apps will have to be saved to the hdd, and I don't want to be twiddling my thumbs while large files are opened/saved to a slow hdd
