I see. But this is what I found:[Snarf];2145717 said:Yes, I had almost made up my mind on two of those 640GB Caviars, when I saw someone on another forum write that it was "one of the loudest hard drives he had ever owned". I'm really tryng to keep this build quiet, and many people have said that the Barracudas are easy on the ears.
Another thing that put me off the Caviar, is the warranty - it's only 3 years vs Seagate's 5 year warranty.
EDIT: I found the Samsung - price is reasonable: SAMSUNG SPINPOINT F1
Can anyone comment on the acoustics?
Hehe, I'm only worried about WD warranty and reliability compared with the Seagate. Otherwise:[Snarf];2145755 said:Yes, you're right. That drive has impressive scores throughout that entire review. Now I'm more undecided than ever
