I've been offered a second hand Western Digital WD1200BB (120 GB, 7200 rpm) for about € 90 (about £54). it's still under garantee so it sounds like a good deal but I have a suspicious mind.
Does anybody know if these disks have a particlur problem?
So far all I've heard is that Western Digital is rather noisy...

Hi Mijbil
I have a 80gb western digital as my main hard drive and yes it is sometimes a little clunky but has been in there for about 8 months with no probs.

A 120 gb at £54 sounds very good mine was about£90+.

Just make sure your system will take a big disk some wont.

Thanks!
I'm on a thight budget and was worried that I might be throwing money away, the guy who offered me the HD is ok but likes to haggle.
My system'll take it on; I've got a brandnew pc from my former employer by as compensation for loads of overtime, shortly after that they sacked me...
I'll never learn.
Anyway, thanks again!

Hi Pete,
Sorry about the moaning!
No new job yet but I'll live.
