reiser4 or XFS if you want performance. when not dealing with lots of small files and the issue is mainly throughput, (ev in a DAW situation) ext3 is probably going to be fine..

ive been buying Samsungs for several years now, and none of them have died, and none of them make any noise. i mean if you put your ear 1/4" away you can hear a faint whirring sound, but its not a single pitched high frequency whine like ive experienced with IBM, WD and others..
