Reccomend me a quiet fast hard drive.

I need a new HD, and am looking for something fast and quiet. I want a SATA 2 drive, I would also like it to be a cool runner and not knock out ridiculous heat like my maxtor.

Liking the look of the Western Digital caviars...

Western Digital Caviar RE 250GB 2500YS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

This would replace my Maxtor 250 gigger.

I cant really afford to spend too much at the mo, so just decided to get another 250gig as its cheaper. I will look at those drives thanks guys.

2 320 giggers, but which?

Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 3200KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

Or

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

The current Maxtor 250 gig sata is very loud. If I ordered a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

Would I get one of the quiet ones, using the pink glue? does anyone know? :confused:

I've heard samsung are quiet but slower, I never owned a samsung before. I have allways liked WD/Seagate.
