[CUBE] Adding a hard drive

[cube at ksphotos.com]

My original Cube drive died several weeks ago and replaced it a 60GB 
7200 RPM IBM Deskstar (or some name like it). It was ridiculously cheap 
and is extremely fast and quiet. Seagate Barracudas seem to get the 
best marks for being quiet but none of my local dealers stocked them. 
Though not authored for the Mac environment, here is a review from a 
site that is an excellent resource for computer upgrades with silence 
in mind:

Good luck.
