[SlimDevices: 3rd-party-hardware] Re: SlimServer on Micro-ITX

I have the same drive except that I went for the 400GB. I wouldn't say
it is exactly quiet but for a 3.5" disk I am happy. A laptop disk was
not an option for me due to size constraints. 

I have the hard drive in IDE2 and I have a 2GB IDE Flash disk in IDE1.
I run Ubuntu 6.06 server headless which, together with Slimserver and
databases, take up 800MB of the IDE flash. Swap is turned off. I added
the following to /etc/hdparm.conf:

/dev/hdc {
write_cache = off
spindown_time = 242
}

With this setting the HD spins down after an hour but the rest of the
system is running 24/7.
