120GB Maxtor DiamondMax® Plus 9 SATA-150 7200RPM 8Mb 9ms OEM (Model No.: 6Y120M0)
$115 CDN
Worth it for $30 bucks?
Some would rather have two 80s...
Don't like WDs ddp?
I've got ATA 80GB & 120GB and SATA 160GB, WD.
(Not fond of Seagates, personally.)
My WDs were first with both 8MB cache and 3-yr warranty, but most all HDs have that lately...
Hold on; my SATA is a Maxtor :)
L8R
There's a new WD hdd that has 10k RPM it's really fast but it's only 36 GB and it cost 129 $ so if u have the extra money get 2 of these toys and raid 0 the hell outta them :)
personally i got maxtor 120 gb sata
hmm and that WD HDD is SATA of course.
But if u dont want to spend more than 200 $ for a hdd get 120 gb maxtor sata it's 115$ i think and its good.
hope this helps
mmughal here is reason off previous link: manufacturers have about 3 different ways of reading a gigabyte, 1 is 1,000,000,000, 2 is 1,024,000,000 & the 3rd is 1,076,000,000 so when you start multipling any one of those numbers you are going to get a different reading
Quote:Which Hard disk to buy? Seagate or WD am planing sata but confused on which one to get
If you want SATA then WD is the best route. Seagate's specialty is SCSI :) Depending on the purpose you might want the Maxtor SATA drives that have 16MB buffers (250GB and 300GB)
Quote:Bought a Seagte SATA 120GB , but one thing when I was installing xp, it showed 114GB , where is 6GB down the drain
Because manufacturers define GB as 1E12 instead of 2^30
