[mythtv-users] Big quiet drive on the cheap

[Isaac Force]

The temperatures of this drive are mid-range, but its noise level is
extremely low. And it's also really cheap, regardless of the specs.
(Pricewatch shows the cheapest 200GB drive available is $145 including
shipping, this one is $100 after rebates. (The shipping was .01 for whatever
reason.))

Choose Idle Noise and Net Drive Temperature to sort by to see how a lot of
different drives compare to eachother.
