hardnrg Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 the 7200.8 is pretty poor performance wise... suggest you get a Hitachi T7K250 (Sata2) if your mobo supports Sata2... if not, then I think the Samsung Spinpoint something or other gives the same performance if the two drives were at Sata1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookieman123 Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 SATA II is twice as fast (3.0gb/s v 1.5gb/s) and you could do with a larger cache. I suggest this one: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16822144701 ...and yes, believe it or not, there are other harddrives than seagate that are nice.

hardnrg Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 sata2 isn't twice as fast... it's just that the speed limit is double that of sata1... however, the hitachi drive in sata2 mode is a lot faster than sata1 even in non-raid... this might be because of ncq... either drive would be really fast... i think the hitachi has the edge for a single user even though it's not an all out win between them... and the hitachi is cheaper so imo it wins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
