I am going to add another hard drive to my pc (want to go big, a 300gb drive)... I was wondering if anyone has any advice on this (or a different one you know of) hard drive
OH AND I AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD DEAL
I heard that the new SATA drives are better than the IDE drives (faster)
this is the best one I found.... please tell me what you think:
SATA work at full speed only in SATA/RAID controllers. otherwise motherboard would remap them to be IDE drive... although plugging SATA is really nice, very convinient cables... i hate huge IDE cables
heh, first gen SATA calbes had very weak connections, mine always fell off whenever I opened my case.
New ones however have more of a snap to them which is nice.
John: with the current price curve, I feel the best bargain still lies in a 250GB hd, though if you really want the space, its your call. As for prices, Newegg is usually a top choice, though remember to check chiefvalue.com , Newegg's sister site, prices and shipping between those two sites often fluctuate, though for HDs, Newegg is usually the lower overall price.
