[CUBE] Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus

[Chris Weiss]

I've been running a 120gb 'cuda for several months now, it's a champ.
The idle is pretty silent. You can hear the seek noises during heavy
use, but they have that pleasant coffeemaker-burbling sound and I
rather prefer 'em to total silence. Also haven't had any heat issues.
I've not had the CPU over 48c since installing it. Typical temp for me
is 44c.
