My 9 month old 80 gig drive recently died in my Myth box, so I sent it
back under warranty. Rather than swapping the drive with a new 80, the
reseller has refunded me with the original amount of money. Obviously 9
months ago, hard drives were rather more money, so I get to buy a nice
shiny new 120 or 160 gig for next to nothing.
So, a couple of questions before I go buying a new drive:
1. Any recommendations on a good drive for Myth? (quietness is a must)
2. is 7200rpm actually useful? The system has a single BTTV card, but I'm
planning to add a PVR350 at some point in the future, so it will
eventually be capturing 2 streams at once while paying another. If I
don't get any real benefit from a 7200rpm drive then getting a 5400rpm one
would cut noise and heat (not to mention they're cheaper).
3. Not really related to the drive itself, but does anyone know where I
can get rubber drive mountings? I don't want the full-blown drive
enclosures with heatsinks on them, etc. Just some rubber mountings to
bolt the drive down with.
