    Default quiet large HD for DM7020

    Fellow dreamers,

    I had a 40g drive installed which whined and was annoying. I popped in a 2.5" laptop drive a couple of weeks ago and you just can't hear it, it's bliss!

    I would like to get a larger drive - as big as I can reasonable go. Are there any suitable 3.5's that a quiet? Power consuption is also an issue with the 3.5" but I am aware of the capacitor mod.

    Gives comparisons between many HDs with regards to noise and power consumption (and lots more!)

    how about a 250gig notebook drive for around $149?

    there is even a 320g WD I believe....


    in the dream settings you can set the idle power save as well...
