    Heyo,

    looking for a quiet hardrive around 120-250Gb in storage and less than £50.

    doesnt have to have any sort of performance as its for a DVR but its in a clients bedroom and needs to be as quiet as possible.

    The hardrive currently in the machine has started to fail making very loud clicks so needs replacing.

    i tried a spare IDE one we had and OMG it was loud. HDD access was quiet but the spin motor was clearly audible even when people were taking.

    any ideas ?
