I know there have been several threads for this topic, but I need more specific answers. My UTV unit is about 20 FT. away from my bed, so drive noise is a big issue for me, the 40 GB drive that came with the drive is in my opinion, loud. During the night its whine can be so bad that I have to unplug the unit. I need to find the quietest drive to make the upgrade.
I have my eye on the samsung - it seems like a good deal, and running at 5400 RPM, I would think would make it quieter. For anyone who has this drive please compare it to the drive that came with your UTV unit.
The western digital drive carries a name I trust. I just bought a WD 80GB drive for my computer, and for the most part it seems silent. Is this true of the 120GB drives as well? Again, if you have the drive compare it to the drive that came with your UTV unit.
For the rest of you, please make a comparison and give your recomendations and advice - this is all much appriciated.
Thanks.
