QUOTE(KiliKulu @ Oct 12 2007, 10:40 AM) Everyone's "noise" lvl is diff i suppose, im using 320G sata seagate, i found it the most noisy parts in my PC. I'm using 320G SATAII seagate too but dun have the noise that u mention. Without the HD my pc totally has no noise, i don even know if my pc is on or off by listening to just the amount of sound generate. But the seagate keep "tic tic tic ticc" which is reli irritating. |

Question!
160 GB Western Digital JB 160 GB Seagate 8M 160 GB Western Digital SATA II 160 GB Seagate SATA II Which is better? Also do every motherboards support every hard disk? I'm just afraid that my old junk motherboard may not support new hard disks. |

Anyone has comments on placing the HDD vertically or horizontally inside the casing? Will placing vertically has negative effect as compared to horizontal?
