I am buying a hard drive to put in my pc to use to back files and the like up to. I have looked on shopzilla and have found these two hard drives at these prices:
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B - Hard drive - 160 GB - internal - 3.5" - SATA-300 - 7200 rpm - buffer: 8 MB
Dell : Hitachi Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B - Hard drive - 160 GB - internal - 3.5" - SATA-300 - 7200 rpm - buffer: 8 MB : System Drives : Home & Home Office
at £34.40
And
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 - Hard drive - 80 GB - internal - 3.5" - ATA-100 - 7200 rpm - buffer: 2 MB
Dell : Seagate Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 - Hard drive - 80 GB - internal - 3.5" - ATA-100 - 7200 rpm - buffer: 2 MB : System Drives : Home & Home Office
at
£32.95.
As you can see the top one has twice as much memory and only costs about £1.35 more than the bottom one, so is it a smart investment or is it a load of crap? Could you tell me what the pro's and cons are of the two drives and what one I should go for.
