New Hard Drive - any ideas?

[Rhisiart]

My Maxtor 6Y080L0 Hard Drive and it is driving me nuts - it is so loud!

Can anyone recommend a good replacement Hard Disc for a G4 Tower (833 MHz 768 RAM 10.3.9) that is quiet and efficient?

Thanks - and this will fit into a G4 Tower Power Mac with no probs?

At 'WD1200JB' click on the 'Specifications' tab link, and scroll down to 'Physical Dimensions'.

For Maxtor 6Y080L0's width and length information - go here, and scroll down to 'Physical Dimensions'.

yup. although i would check to see if your model of powermac can support hard drives with a higher capacity then 128gb. other than that, a hard drive is a hard drive.

Many thanks Barhar. The dimensions are exactly the same.

Lt Major Burns - I shall bear in mind what you say.
