Hey, i'm going to go buy a 40Gb hard-drive tomorrow and I want to know if anyone has any suggestion on which brand is better.
Here are my current options:
IBM 41.0GB 7200rpm - $116 (CDN)
Maxtor 40.0GB 7200rpm - $120 (CDN)
Seagate 40.0GB 7200rpm - $120 (CDN)
Western Digital 40GB 7200rpm - $124 (CDN)
All prices are in Canadian figures.
I don't have any other info on these hard-drives, thats all they show on their site. I plan on making this hard-drive combine with another one with raid 0 enabled l8ter on.
So should i wait and buy two identical drives at the same time??? or can I buy different brands, with different storage capacities??? I am asking because i think i read somewhere that if you have 2 hard-drives with raid 0 enabled, each hard-drive will obtain the lowest storage capacity of the two involved.
eg: one 40gb and one 20gb, the 40gb would go down to 20gb...
