[QUOTE="RedDevil_UK, post: 83901, member: 184030"] i was actually looking for a 160 gig HDD for mine when i wanted one, but found 5400rpm drives very hard to come by now :( ended up paying £150 for a 300gig drive instead.... it was the only one i could get my hands on. Like racingclub says above, the hard drive speed is relative to the bus speed on board (like a PC) so dont pay extra for a super fast drive, your just gonna waste your money, if anything buy a slow drive, if you can get one :) as far as PCs go the drive in my DB is really slow... i wouldnt have it in my PC, but it performs superb in the DB last night i recorded a program to hard drive, and watched something i recorded earlier from the same drive, at the same time.... with no problems at all.
