    Maxtor SATA Liquid Bearing 8MB buffer drive?

    I'd like to buy 2 maxtor Serial ATA Liquid bearing 8MB buffer hard drive (60 or 80GB), do they have such a drive?

    I tried to look on their site and they dont even list their sata drives (if they do they should make them easier to find).

    If they dont make drives like this do other brands have some?

    Thanks

    I prefer Maxtor, do they not have any? If not I'll get a Seagate, do they also have 8MB cache as well as liquid bearing and sata on the same drive?

    Thanks

    I cant find liquid bearing sata drives on seagate.com, do they list liquid bearing as a feature or call it something else? What I want is the drive to be very quiet, so liquid bearing or not I want it to be quiet, but I think liquid bearings are what make them quiet.

    Thanks

    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Thanks, the problem was that I was reading:
    "Blazing performance with Ultra ATA/133 or SATA and 8MB buffer"

    And that line on the site cuts to a 2nd line right after "ATA/133" so as soon as I saw ATA/133 I thought they didnt have them in SATA.
