Hi guys !

Thanks for the detailed info. Alot of stuff to read on the provided links.

Regarding the power needs i found this link on seagates page :

http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/data...da_7200_10.pdf

Hops this works. So regarding the info on the higher drives they require 12 V and 13 Watt during operation. if i calculate this correctly ( W divided by Volt is Ampere) it is 13W/12V=1,09A Is that correct ?

Here the WesternDigital Link:
http://www.wdc.com/de/products/Products.asp?DriveID=117

In the electrical specifications the power consumption is split up, so i have to add it all together if i understood it correct. lets see ( 530mA+450mA = 980mA or 0,98A so about 0.1 A less then the Seagate drive.

Not sure if the WD supports prependual recording though. (what ever that is, have to research it)

The page for hardware research was down last night when i followed the link, i couldnt register.

Thanks alot for the warning on the hardware side, the best hdd is useless if it blows the power units on the snaps. So using 1.1A drives is a risk as you pointed out, but one that many people take.

Best regards
