I need new drives for my computer. Quiet drives....It is not a gaming machine, just photoshop and video editing.
I want to get 3 Seagate Barracuda 4's, as they are ATA 100, my mb only supports up to ATA 100. ATA 133 drives would be a waste as I couldn't use their potential

So, these barracudas are supposed to perform reasonable, and are dead quiet, which is important to me. But would 3 in a normal case overheat? I hear they get hot....only thing stopping me from buying them is overheating.

It would defeat the purpose of buying quiet drives if I have to buy noisy fans to cool them.

Thanks!
