I have to buy a new hard drive and I'd like some advice. It has to be over 40 Gigs and I'm concerned more about getting one that dosn't run hot than one that's fast. Cool and fast would be great. I need a new home for the 9's: Slackware 9, Mandrake 9, and Red Hat 9. Any opinions would be most welcome.
My current favorite is the Western Digital with the 8 MEG buffer. Mine runs like a charm, and it's certainly a lot cooler than the Maxrots I have. Fast, quiet, reliable. It's never a bad idea to shell out the extra $15 or so for a hard drive cooler though....
