I am wanting to order a new hard drive for my new build in the next few days but I am unable to decide what to get. I just sent this drive back (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822144701) because the seek noise was way too loud. I am wanting a sata 3.0 drive with at least 16 mb cache, but I don't want to spend over $75.
Right now my top choices are:
Seagate 320GB Serial ATA/300 16MB Buffer ST303204N1A1AS-RK
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5296757?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
$65 + $5 shipping
or
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148262
$70 w/ free shipping.
I would prefer the one that is going to be quieter and faster. The difference in size isn't a big deal. Maybe you know a better HDD in the same price range?
