Dont have any positive advice but I do have to say something negative here.

=NOT= the WD Caviar SATA 250GB.

I bought two of these because they looked so good.
The first one died in a month.
The second in about 5 months.


AVOID THEM.

I would have to recommend the seagate 16 MB 250 GB SATA. Good quality and company. Seagates are well know for there quietness and performance.The 16MB cache will give it a good performance boost as well.

Hehe, I've had one for a month and another for five - no problems!

Heard there were serious problems with it and the ASUS A8N-SLI


Hmm Never heard about that. I have had great luck with Maxtor and also if I have a problem the send me a new drive overnight.

Can't beat the 5 year waranty on the seagates right now, plus they are pretty quiet and reliable.

i have the a8n-sli and this drive. if you dont touch the bios, you'll be fine...(at least i am). asus is supposed to fix this..or maxtor is supposed to update the sata boot rom. this is a great drive...
