| 1357207 | 2005-08-30 14:30:00 | Whatever you buy make sure it has seagate on it, there is probally nothing wrong with the other brands but from my experience seagate drives are quiter and have a 5 year gurantee | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 1357208 | 2005-08-30 19:38:00 | Good morning I am also in the process of upgrading the HDD and wonder about the choice I have. This is my motherboard: Motherboard: CPU Type Intel Pentium 4, 2400 MHz (18 x 133) Motherboard Name Albatron PX865P (Pro) / PX865PE (Pro) / PX865PEL-800 / PX865PE Lite (Pro) Motherboard Chipset Intel Springdale i865PE System Memory 1536 MB (DDR SDRAM) BIOS Type Award (03/01/04) Till now I was mainly looking at Westrn Digital? Is it really so that Seagate are quieter? My machine is loud enough allready! Any suggestions(I thought of getting a 200GB drive) Gion |

| 1357209 | 2005-08-30 19:44:00 | I have just got my new machine with the samsung drive (Samsung 160GB IDE UDMA/100 8MB 7200rpm) on the other page. Its so quiet that you can barely hear it over the fan - which is called "super quiet" in the instructions. I am more than impressed. The machine just snaps alive when you turn it on. Although the Athalon 64 3500 gig chip probably helps :) |

| 1357210 | 2005-08-30 19:56:00 | Thats funny, coz I was given (as a present) an 80GB "super quiet" Samsung (yes it was brand new, not second hand), that makes more noise than my 3 year old Seagate. The Samsung now sits waiting for a use (probably as part of a file server, or for backups) while I got a new 'quieter' Seagate 80GB. I would definately go for the Seagate |

| 1357211 | 2005-08-31 00:05:00 | Hey thenks everyone for your help. By pure co-incidence a mate of mine told me yesterday that his 200G drive needed to be re-formatted so he could re-load windows. We put it in my pc and it recognised it first time, no sweat! The drive is a, you guessed it, Seagate 7200 8Mb. Works perfectly. Now I know what I am going to buy! :) |
