wow these drives keep looking better and better.... esp with hard disks being the largest bottleneck in pc's

I honestly dont need most of the 160 gigs of space on my current drive

hunt u may have said this but how is the drve on noise/vibration

They are much cooler and quieter than the 74Gb versions, as far as vibration goes I haven't noticed any at all ....... but I can't be sure as it would be difficult to notice with my current set-up

lol the air conditioned cabinet?

...yeah Im a bit of a noise reduction freak when it comes to my builds, I think im gonna have to watercool the next rig, just havent been able to quite justify the cost of that yet

[Hunt3r]

Actually the cabinet makes the air conditioner and both pc's practically silent

let me know I have a ton of very expensive watercooling gear that I would let go of cheap

(and a nice phase change unit as well)

[SonicSpeed]

Wait, what kind of watercooling gear?

[Hunt3r]

hmmmm, I will make a list of my watercooling gear and take pictures and post it in the f/s section rather than clutter this thread, give me about an hour or so.

[Fish111]

k I want the phase changermator

a grand sound about right?

[Fish111]

7.2ms access on a single one of these drives, and down to 289.99 gawd I want one so baddddd

But I can get a new monitor for this $$

ohhh the pain

[Hunt3r]

Just get the new monitor and a pair of these to keep it company

I've been in Hunter's back yard a couple times now, and I looked all over, but I couldn't find his money tree.
