hi,
im looking for a new hdd for xmas that i can put to good use at uni next year (dsl connection, woo!).
i have a 20gb now, and its almost full. i was thinking around the 80gb range, and just adding it to my 20gb (ie. 80gb partitioned, but main drive, 20gb with all my downloads).
i need a fast one, that runs pretty quiet, and not too hot. seek time or ata doesnt matter, neither does money.
i was also told to stay away from IBM, that right?
maxtor or western digitals sound the best, something called caviar i think?
any suggestions welcome,
thanks!
