I have a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint 7200rpm drive in my Duo and I'm finding the noise a bit annoying. Some of it may be resonance of something in my cabinet, but I'm considering putting a 5400 rpm drive in instead.
I'm concerned that the slower drive may not be able to cope with recording multiple events while also doing background file transfers, etc.
I've had a browse and a search through the forum and I can't find anything definitive on this. There are lots of people reporting success with 5400 rpm drives, but how hard are they being worked?
So - has anybody really thrashed their 5400 rpm drive, and if so, how did it fare?
Thanks!
