swifty11212 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 imo i would go with seagate, great and reliable and nice life span. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuJuMaN89 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 how about which one is faster ? and what is the dif between SATA150 and SATA 3.0 GB/s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTSchnarfy Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Out of those three, I would also go with the Seagate (mostly because they are generally a touch quieter). However, if your budget is around $110 or so, you may want to look into this one. It's got 16MB cache, so it'll be a little quicker than the ones you linked to. Don't worry about SATA150 or 3.0 seeing as how most HD's don't even use up the bandwidth that ATA133 offers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_lag Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 now since idont wannt to start over when i get the new hard drive, i can make a exact copy of my hard drive and transfer it to the new sata one correct? 613422[/snapback] yes you can do that...its only on a new harddrive and staying in the same rig, so it shouldn't cause you any problems....just make sure you specify in the BIOS to start up with the SATA port and not......whatever you were on before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
