The perfect harddrive for your MythTV box…

Actually this is a review from December 4th, but I think it is important, so I’ll put it up here anyway. SilentPCReview.com has tested a new “green” HDD from Western Digital. It’s the “Caviar Green Power WD7500AACS”. It is available in large sizes (500/750/1000GB), but is only running at 5400rpm. This means lower noise and lower power consumption (4Watts in idle) and it is perfect for a HTPC.
I’ll leave you with the conclusion from the review, I think you’ll get the point.
It’s the quietest desktop drive we’ve ever tested. It’s the most efficient drive we’ve ever tested. And it comes in capacities up to 1 TB. What more do you want? As far as SPCR is concerned, this could be the perfect drive — at least until flash media takes over.
