Re: Large Harddisks again
I second that...
I also just got another one of these Samsung drives just the other day for
another Tivo upgrade (I already have one in there, but I want to re-do it
withou destroying my current "live" drive).
I previously had a 7200rpm drive in there (an IBM GXP) which I could
constantly hear doing stuff... Since changing to the Samsung I have *never*
heard even the slightest sound from Tivo....
