hi,
which drive is the most silent 500GB model? IBM, WD or seagate.

does anyone have a 500GB hard drive they would recommend?

hi, same case + heatsink (the case with no air duct and the top blower I got the old design). I have 1 fan blowing into the case at 5V and the one fan at the rear of case at 5V blowing air out.

I am in love with this thing
