|  Which HD for storage I'm looking for a new hard drive it's only purpose is storage, so it needs to be big and silent... speed doesn't matter (maybe a little bit), which HD is the best for this, keep in mind that i don't want a drive which after a year is going to be dead. I was thinking to buy this one @funcomp SAMSUNG SV1604N 160.0GB, 5400Rpm, 2MB, UDMA/133 for 96.69 € or this one SAMSUNG SpinPoint P80 SP1604N 160.0GB 7200Rpm UDMA/133 for 106.99 € is samsung a good choice or should i go for WD of something else |

| 120+ 8mb cache drive from Maxtor has 3y warranty, and the price is certainly very competitive

| the maxtor 120GB 2MB cache is currently the best price per GB available here in belgium. That's maxtor and WD only. Didn't have prices of seagate and anything else isn't considered a HD by me. |
