oh... and what does OEM drive only mean? what is OEM?

 

[The Merlin]

I believe thats about the same one I got

I think the only thing that matters really in the low end of HD models is price You really only need to worry about how fast a HD is on uber HD's like 250gb Raptors and stuff right??

 

[pc_boy]

oh, and it costs 73 dollars

Sometimes OEM come with bundled stuff. Sometime's not IE cables.

I like Seagate drives personally, but ive heard good things about Western Digital
