Re: [LAU] serial ata

Hi Dan,

I have had good luck with the Western Digital SE 16 500GB drives. I
think the model number is WD5000AAKS or something similar. They are
very quiet for a large drive, and I haven't had any issues.

I have used them on two computers. The first motherboard was an Abit
AV8 with a VIA K8T800 Pro/VT8237 chipset (now discontinued). The
current board is an Asus P5W DH Deluxe with an Intel P975X and ICH7R
chipsets. This board also has an additional JMicron raid controller but
I haven't touched it.

Alan
