Your english isn't all that bad. Western Digital Scorpio series are recommended here.

First of all...thanks for your reply

I will take a look at Scorpio Series but...if I wanted to get an Hitachi HD, what do you think about 7k100 or 5k160?

Regards

any recommendation for small size 2.5" hdd?
something like 40 - 80GB?

are all of scorpio drives good silence- and performance-wisely, or just the famous scorpio wd1200bevs?

Samsung SpinPoint M80 80GB Sata (HM080HI) is the most silent drive ive had so far except for the legendary 40GB samsung. The HM080HI is a single platter drive with perpendicular recording. I'd highly recommend it.

On the subject, does anyone know when we'll see 120 / 160 GB single platter drives? My 80GB is getting too small..

Could you please tell me which "legendary 40GB Samsung" you're referring to.

Thanks.

I've tried quite a few 2.5" drives but have stuck with Samsung M60s each time. I wouldn't worry too much about it being single platter. I don't have a fan running in my system and with the case side on (HD suspended and the HD bay is lined with acoustic dampening material) and the PC is inaudible.

What can you say about the 160 GB Samsung IDE? Does it make any clicking sounds or is it ok? Or is there some other brand that's better?
