ight, untill now i have been scrimping and saving on harddrives and its about time i spent some money i suppose.. currently have 3x 40gb 2mb caches drives, one of which died last night (guess the manufacturer???) so im looking at getting either a 120/160 gb 8mb cache new drive..
now the question is im after speed first and foremost.. and from what ive seen price wise i have two choices (unless anyone knows any better solutions)
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 120GB 1200JD SATA 8MB Cache - OEM
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120GB SATA 8MB Cache - OEM
now both are roughly the same price (about 61 GBP), the ide versions are only marginally cheaper (5 quid less) so i figure i may as well stick with sata..
so my question is.. what would you guys buy.. for roughly 70ukp delieverd, thats fairly speedy - im happy to lose a gb here or there if it means its quicker.. hence the fact im not goin for a 160gb drive.. things im bothered about are price/performance and noise..
thanks, S
