I dont like the heat and noise of the Seagate Barras myself.

Unfortunately the ones I do like, the Samsungs, are
currently max 200G. I'd get two of those instead myself.
Quite a bit cheaper than the 400G Seagate too.

Nope, lousy value. The 200G at A$165 each is much better value.

shows much better value for that Seagate if you insist on using it.

I'd go for two of these myself,
