I've been looking at the Maxtor 6E040L0 40GB 2 MB cache and 6Y080P0
80GB 8 MB cache. I don't really need 80GB. 40GB is actually more than
enough. Based on a large HD vs. a small HD, are there advantages like
speed, how quiet it is, etc... and should I be looking at other brand
names?

Hello,

Any differences should be negligible, in everyday practice.
and should I be looking at other brand
names?

I favor Samsung, from both online research and personal experience.
Affordable, quiet, cool and reliable.

Good luck!

Hello, Steve:

Only on retail models (not OEM ones), however. I should've mentioned it,
before, anyway...just forgot. <g>
