Hard Drives

[freak67]

I have decide to get a new hard drive, my motherboard supports SATA2 (Sata 3.0gb/s) and i wanted know which hard drive will last me quite a while, but also be reliable for the time i use it.

I am having trouble deciding in between:

or a
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140

Any information on some of the features or differences between the two would help me greatly.

hrm If i remember right perpendicular recording makes the storage data closer to each other thus making it faster. So id go with that one

I have a western digital 80gb sata hard drive, i havent used it yet, but you need to buy some sata cables seperately, i figured that out when it came in the mail, so my vote is the w.d.

The seagate would give you better performance, and both are OEM so you might not get a cable either way... but your mobo (if bought new) should have a sata cable that you can use.

Neither of those drives will come with a SATA cable... they are a couple bucks just about anywhere. My dual 500 Gig Sata drives came without cables, but I won't need them once I get the NAS box....

I recommend Seagate, as I have NEVER had a Seagate drive fail on me, but EVERY WD drive I have had has failed.
