sata /eide hard drives

Looking for drives to run video editing off.

Drives around the 160 Gig mark I think, long warrantee, quiet as
possible, one sata interface the other std eide at100/133 interface
drive (its going in a ext firewire case for an Imac, what offers the
best performance and where to get?

Kinda looking at the Seagate drives at the moment, principly because of
the 3 year warrantee and low noise.

The other option for the firewire one is to get a ext drive ready made
in a case, has to be firewire and mac compatible....

experience/suggestions?

The WD Caviar Special Edition has an 8meg cache and a 3 Year Warranty
$180.00 ex Gst, only ATA 100 though.

 

And the Seacrate has 5 years,,,,

 

And $190 at PP I see.

 

Im off pp at the moment, too hard to dela with, ascent seem way easier.

How are they price wise Thing?

 

Dunno, but the odd dollar is no biggee compared with the pain of dealing
with pp v painless ascent. plus pp's web site only seems to work
properly in IEx, ascent works in Konq. or Mozilla, Ascent also seem more
Linux & Mac friendly.

I have had no trouble at all with PP in Opera or Firefox! I never use
IE.

 

The 160Gig 8meg cache Samsung drive topped out in a comparison in an
Aussie mag a few months ago. They are known to be very quiet.
