Eco Green HDD's

[Stickfigure]

I'm looking at a 2TB Seagate Eco Green HDD (5900rpm) to store my ever growing TV series collection. Will I notice any difference due to the lower rpm? I will not be installing any software on it whatsoever, it will be used for storage only.

What is the price of this may i ask?

Best price I've seen is R964.

http://specials.esquire.co.za/2010_11_08_StorageSpecial.html has one for R729 (R831.06 with VAT)

I have one of them and the speed is brilliant. Because of the sector density the speed is good, even at the lower rpm, your only problem is latency. Don't install programs on the drive, just use it for media storage

What about running 4 of them in a raid 5

For storage these drives are excellent. The same with WD Green drives.

They are fine with software raid but not hardware raid
