[ltp] Fujitsu discs

[Jones, John]

I have a DJSA-220; I can't even tell when it's running.  I can only hear if
something actually reads/writes to the disk.  Otherwise, there's really no
difference in noise between when it's running and when it has spun down in
power saving mode.  This is a far cry from the drive which came with the
machine, which was a real whiner.  
DJSA-220's have a 2MB buffer, and they're UDMA-66.

Regarding the Fujitsu HDD, I think IBM's 20Gb Travelstar (DJSA-220 I think)
has a 1Mb buffer...
But it might be noisier.

As always, only Bill Morrow knows these subtle details...

It seems that HDD prices are always quite "rationnal". That is, you get what
you pay for rather than paying for a brand name or useless gimmicks. Just my
2c.
