Hey all.. I need your advice here..
I am looking into getting a new HD. 40GB just isn't enough these days. Anyhow, I am wondering primarily what specs to chase after, and secondarily which brand seems to be most reliable (can o worms)..
given - 7200RPM
ATA100 vs ATA133 <--- any real performance diff to justify ATA133?
2MB vs 8MB <--- I hear this makes a big difference
WD, Maxtor, or Seagate <--- tending towards Seagate for the most quiet drive you can get these days
Please let me know what you can with regard to performance.. I just upgraded to a XP2600+ so I want to get the most out of the new HD..
tia all
