New Hard Drive

I was thinking of getting a new hard drive for myself. I need at least 200 gigs. I was thinking of something like this

Maybe if you can find something better for less? Not more than $70 tho, still need to get a new cd/dvd burner lol

 

it's a decent choice for the money I see nothing wrong with it.

Also consider one of seagates PRM drives. Faster, but noisier and about 10$ more expensive. Entirely your choice though that WD drive is a decent one.

 

k, decent is good for me. I noticed it doesn't come with a SATA cable. that sucks

 

Mostly SATA cables are included by your motherboard, that's why they don't sell them both in one package.

 

Save a dollar!

xD...

Alternatively.. Get this for 10 bucks more and it's 320gb - good brand - good performance. Just dont get maxtor.. Mine sucks, but can't complain much because of price O.O

Get the retail version of the drive, it should come with full documentation and some cables.
OEM is the real base package, no cables, just the drive, a jumper pin and a small piece of paper giving you a brief instruction of installation a diagram for setting your jumpers.

 

great advice.

all I can say.

and I should have checked other sites... I just get lazy since newegg is normally really competative in their pricing(though some thigns they just rape you on w/ pricing)

 

and tiger direct the same.

Diablo has the right Idea..

 

Yea, Im not a fan of Tigerdirect but they had good sales lately.
Also, zipzoomfly = newegg prices... just zipzoom has free shipping, and newegg has shipping..
zipzoom: 75 w/free shippin
newegg: 70 w/5$ shipping

Wester Digital's are great

i have that exact HDD and its awesome, even though i already have used 84GB in 3.5 months of using it

 

Western Digital, Maxtor, Seagate, and Samsung is good from my knowledge of ownership..

 

right now i have a 40 gig WD. Maxtor i have a 30 gig, from like 3 years ago, dont like it way too hot and noisy. Ill probibly end up buying a WD since i already have it. If my mobo came with the sata cables, then ill probibly have em somewhere. Gatta look for them tho.

 

My older WD > My newer/bigger maxtor.
Seagate and WD are best probly.

 

older drives do get bad... they either lose data or sound like a screaming yeti..

NCQ, PRT, 16MB Cache, I think it speaks for itself. The 7200.10's are some of the fastest on the market, well worth the money.
