Tim,
Please keep preaching this to the choir!
I figured this one out oh-so many years ago. And, other than our last
transaction, I've had very few problems I read about here over and over.
A quality PSU is the only way to go for me, personally. I have no plans
to change this build principle!
Best,
Duncan

Hello,
I would also like to add, make sure you have a good power supply. We
recently have had a client here and he was running a raid on a 450 watt
Power supply of questionable quality. I told him if that many hard drives
where damaged in that time frame, I would replace the power supply.
I gave him suggestions and he looked at me like I was from another planet or
a ghost. I just told him the most important component in the computer is
the power supply and a crappy power supply means a crappy computer.
I gave him an example of, I have a PC Power and Cooling Silent 750 in my
computer that has been in the computer for over 3 years and not one drive
has failed due to severe damage or power problems. One has been replaced due
to bad sectors and sluggish performance. He just said that was a good
investment.
2 hours later I get a call from same client and give him recommendations and
where he can get the power supplies. Looks like Newegg is getting more
business, LOL.
So remember get a good power supply, just about everyone of us preach about
it here, so do it :)

Thanks all, as I thought "pick one, any one" in this category.

Have tried the wd and seagate.
The wd runs a tad bit cooler.

Figuring I've been wasting money on 7200RPM drives for mass storage

looking @ 5900RPM ones as fast enough to serve my media share while

3 drives, all same basic specs & price, any real reason to pick one
over the
others?
