I had orded som new hdd but the problem is that they won't get it in to the shop before the middle of janury. This is what I orderd. The Seagate is the one that they didn't have. So now I wonder what other disks are good? Atleast 250 gb.



Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 300GB S-ATA 8MB cache 7200RPM NCQ
Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB S-ATA 8MB cache 10000RPM

pfff woa those must be quite expensive! 300 GB! damn! i remember my old computer had a HD of 5,6 GIG, and that was much of that time!


maybe look for the right bargains and shipprices on other sites.

Well I changed store and instead I bought a Seagate 200 gb and a Wd Raptor 74 gb

ah the western digitals are very good :thumbup: but 36.7 gigs doesn't sound even close too even 100GB?

[Kacperski]

That's prolly cos it's for OS drive

[Hasse]

You're smart Kacperski :P

[Kacperski]

But why do you need SUCH a drive for it? ;)

[Hasse]

You mean the 74 gb?? It's a lot faster then the 36.7 gb and I have to compansate for i'm buying 200 gb instead of 300 :P

[Kacperski]

No, I mean 10000rpm...? You're not running a pr0n server ;)

Raptors are great for video games :thumbup:

Average seek is around 4.5 MSecs :thumbup:

I wanted a fast disk to boot and play and such!

If you can afford it, then it's gotta be two 74Gig Raptors :thumbup: :thumbup:

[Hasse]

If you send me monney I can afford it :P


PS: I'm getting my new Mp-3 player that is some months late. It's an IRiver 20Gb :D :D

get 4 Seagate 250 and a 80(for windows, 20 would have been enough but there is no such tiny ones anymore) and get a decent RAID5 controller. :D

[Hasse]

Send me money and I will :D

[Hasse]

Well I got my disks yesterday so now I run my OS on a WD Raptor, 74 gb, 10 000 Rpm, S-ATA! Damn it boots fast!

Good choice :thumbup:
