RE: Quite Simply a BARGAIN :-)

[<jpm.egroup1@xxxxxxx>]

I went for some Samsung 5400 120GB drives from doscomputers

Hopefully should be quiet & run cool in the TIVO.

Rob,

I know there were a lot of problems with the 75XP range, but I've have
some 120XP's for a while with no problems, and I haven't heard of issues with the 180's yet....

Price aside, I am buying them because they are faster and quieter than
similar spec Maxtors for example - the price merely meant I bought them
today rather than, say, in a couple of weeks.....
