I'm looking for a drive to go into my Tivo. I want a 5400rpm drive that's as quiet as possible. Does anyone know know which would be best (and is available in the UK!)

Alternatively, does anyone know of a test of 5400rpm drives where the emphasis is on noise rather than performance!

Thanks.....

I have an 80GB Seagate drive 5400RPM with a rubber noise isolator on it. I don't know if thise drive is available in 120GB, but it's worth looking for!

es. Seagate are known to make drives with an emphasis on coll and quite rather than absolute performance.

And as far as the model is concerned, a little research at <A HREF="http://www.seagate.com" target="_new">http://www.seagate.com</A> won't hurt you. :smile:
