    hi all!

    since my dvd drive is faulty, I was seriously considering to buy a hard disk to mount it in the dvd bay and have thus a second drive, for data (I currently have a SSD as primary hd).

    I am looking for a 1TB drive, performance are not important, indeed energy consumption and 'coolness' are.
    any advice/unrecommendation?
    the cheapest I found is this one (roundabout €70 shipped)

    Samsung Spinpoint MT2, 1TB

    and according to this review meets my needs (tho I have to check about the height)

    cos I also have available those other 2 drives, though more expensive


    Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD10TPVT
