new harddrive, suggestions? also.

[papaschtroumpf]

I'm looking for a new largish harddrive (thinking 400 or 500G), SATA for sure, ideally 30g/s

Will hold OS (dual or triple boot), and apps

I would like it to be relatively quiet also.

This one looks good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136073

although I was hoping to sped 20-30 dollars less.

Samsung's 501 is the price/performance leader for this - and they're nicely quiet too.

bah, got impatient, order the drive from Frys: http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5366798
$99 for 500G is decent, if not a steal (I missed the staple superdeal on Sunday)
