Good internal hard drive for PVR

Hi,

I just bought a Mutant HD2400.
It didnt come with a hard drive inside it.

I am looking to buy one myself. The box supports 2.5" SATAIII drives. Amazon have some good deals on Western Digital drives, so I was gonna pull the trigger on one of these.

What tripped me up though, was the WD AV-25 hard drive which is designed for PVRs and CCTVs etc. Apparently it has a 32MB cache, instead of 8GB in the WD Blue drives.

My question is, if I'm going for silence and reliability, am I OK to just get the normal hard drive, or will I see much more benefit in going for the WD AV-25, since its designed for PVRs?

Thanks.
 
The WD blue drives are good, the red drives are better but are designed for servers etc. for a PVR I can't see anything against a standard HDD.
