    Hitachi SATA drives

     
    I'm down to two drives (74GB Raptor and an old D740X 80GB Maxtor) and it's killing me with such a low amount of space. I've thought about a RAID 5 array but haven't decided, so in the mean time - how are these drives? I'd be picking up two for starters, and another two if I wanted to go RAID.

    Hitachi T7K250

    They seem to have gotten glowing reviews, anyone want to comment?

    I have the older SATA I version of that drive. I like it. It's cool, quiet, and fast. I've had it for a few months now and so far I've had zero problems. Don't let the old "Deathstar" reputation scare you off.
