Well, the truth is there's no cast at all, apart from expending the necessary energy to click on the links and scroll down this page - but I think we all agree that's negligible. And for this minor protein burn you get not only a link to a budget hard drive round up at I Am Not a Geek.com, but an updated Detonator Performance Database over at Tweaker's Asylum.

The Performance Databse now includes pretty much every version release from the 5.xx series on up to 11.xx - 35 sets of results in total. The hard drive round up, on the other hand, only has three drives, but they are looked at with the discerning PC tweaker in mind:

'Now that we have met all the contenders it is time to compare every aspects of the drives. First up, noise! Noise is absolutely a concern with PC's today. Cooling fans, hard drives, and CD-ROMS are the key contributors to noise of a PC. PC's are getting much louder, mostly because of cooling so if we can save some noise on the hard drive I am all for that.'
