Trying to pick out 3 hard drives for an audio recording rig with large sample library playback. trying to keep the cost for 3 around $300. Looking to get the best individual performance from SATA 3gb/sec and the quieter the better.
At new egg The top 3 rated 500gb are Samsung T, Western Digital, and Segate. I always thought seagate were suppose to be the leader of the pack but that was 2 years ago, things could have changed. Also I don't know if their perpendicular writing would be a positive or negative for large 40gb sample VSTi's. One drive will be recording multiple uncompressed wav's likely in 24bit/44.1khz maybe higher but unlikely.
So I need two large drives, and one average size for programs. Performance and silence is what I'm looking for around $300. What do you suggest I look at?
