80GB good?

[AMDXP]

Ok well I'm in need of a 3rd HD so I can store data on it.

It will be mainly MS WORD documents and that but whats nice is the HD is a Western Digital 80 GB 7200 RPM with 8 mb cache So, I'm thinking of buying it finally and an external floppy drive.


This will equal about 70 total with the HD and External Floppy.

HD 39.99 New. External floppy drive 39.99......

So I think thats what I'll finally buy and not clutter the forums with external or internal hd anymore.


Thoughts???

Where are you getting that HD for 39.99?

I doubt you'd ever fill an 80GB drive with MS word docs...

generally considered a very robust HDD
I have 12 WD400BBs (the 40GB 2mb) all over three years old (the warranty)
which where that HDDs basic predecessor in design
and goin strong, its considered a fine workhorse of a HDD (the 80)
and was no slouch in the performance field either (for its time)
