[QUOTE="pstauff, post: 91513"] Yeah, I am leaning towards 4200 for quietness and coolness too. I looked at specs on many of the drives. The 4200's require slightly less wattage and are slightly quieter. I am happy with the transfer rate on the stock 30 GB. I just need more space for MP3s and to install everything I want. I can get pretty much all my programs that I want on the 30 GB drive, I just have to offload stuff on occasion. (Photos and downloads) I want to have more breathing room. I am kicking myself for not getting the 60 GB version. If I had 40 GB, that would have done the trick. On Buy com I found the 60 GB IBM/Hitachi for $98 shipped. I am ready to pull the trigger. The install looks a bit difficult, so I am holding off on submitting more order. [/QUOTE]
