Recommend me an 80Gb

[Meatball]

I am looking for a good 80Gb drive for around £35-£40(I don't need anymore and cannot afford anymore). I would like it to be quiet, Fast (SATA2 300mb poss?) and have 16mb cache (if possible in this price bracket). Thanks for any help!

EDIT: I would go for a 40Gb if it meant I could get fast SATA and 16mb cache

SATA II isn't an issue on small drives, but as far as I'm aware drives with 16MB of cache only start on 250GB models and above.

Nevermind. I just ordered the Samsung Spinpoint P HD080HJ 80GB SATA-II 8MB Cache. Good choice?

There are merits to each manufacturer, Samsung is very good so not a bad choice at all.

Cheers, thanks. I have a 200Gb Seagate and I have found it to be to loud for my liking.
