SATA hard dirves...

[small256]

Anyone recommend any SATA HDs? Preferably that will work well together as i'm going to buy 2. So RAID enabled I guess...
If possible, somewhere around 80gb to 100gb each and preferably, under £50... perhaps i'm asking a bit much.

Seagates with 8MB or 16MB buffers
Seagate have the lowest failure rate

the 200GB or 250GB ones will be great

btw I believe that to run two HDDs in RAID you need a RAID controller, mobos come with that? Cause I seen that you can buy those controllers for PCI and PCI-E x4

the EPoX EP 8NPA Sli has Raid 0/1/0+1 support

yeah, you will probably be best off with 2x250gb hdd's at the moment rather than 2x100gb. for the minimal price difference you would be missing out on great value.

Thanks all. Probably go for a couple of 160gb ones, i have a relatively tright budget.

250GB SATA drives are like $99, doesn't that convert to like £50?

£56 something... i guess its only £20 more than what i was spending or $45ish
