OK, I have an 80gb Western Digital 7200rpm 8mb now.....
I am wanting to upgrade my PC later this year and rather then changing CPU's I think I will get a bigger performance boost switching to a 10k HD
So I was scouring Newegg.com and here is their list
From what I see here none of them are retail, all OEM's
From the label says on my current drive it is IDE
I'm pretty sure that my mobo came with SATA cables, but if it didn't those are easy to find right?
Next, is there a huge performance difference between SCSI and SATA? The SCSI drives seem cheaper And what type of special connector would an SCSI drive require?
Next, does size matter? I only have 14gb's used right now on my 80gig drive So would their be any performance difference between a 1/2 filled 36gig 10k and 1/4 filled 74gig 10k? I usually uninstall games after I have finished them that explains the low volume
Look forward to your help and replies, thank you
