which 320GB hdd?

[delta555]

Ive been looking at either the seagate, samsung or wd caviar for a 320GB SATA 2 drive.

Couple of quesitons, first is whats with the SE16 and RE versions of the WD caviar hdd's? is the RE a RAID edition, and will this work in a non-RAID setup?

Is the performance of the wd over the seagate worth the extra noise?

Im leaning in between the wd and the seagate, with the samsung looking the worst of the three.

This drive would be for my xp pro drive with programs. Going to be migrating stuff from my xp home which has gone through about 3 computers.

ordered the seagate, should arrive here on wednesday.

Had a bit of problem with the order though, didnt see anything for adding different address to deliver to, so accidentally sent it to the billing address, which is across the country. So i sent in a webnote and tried for 20 minutes to call them up. Finally got through and they have changed the address to send it to me at uni, but means it will arrive a day later.
