Hard drives




Posted by higbvuyb

What is a good hard drive that you can get for about 150 Australian dollars? I don't need that much storage, 100gb is more than enough, and I want it to be as fast as possible.

IDE drive, http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=22-144-148&depa=1
SATA drive,

These are the drives I would get currently. Don't know about Australian munnies though so might be over the price. Both drives should perform well but if you have the option go for the SATA option.

Well, I can tell you NOT to get a Pine/Samsung. Absolutely terrible. Or at least, mine is.

Maxtor are great at hard drives. I had one that lasted me ten years; I can't complain about that lifespan.

Doesn't seem like he wants to spend $400-$500 on a HD at the moment.

I have 2 maxtor harddisks. They're awesome. They run fast and without any hitches.

Why? This is turning into a general discussion thread about harddisks.
