Hello,
Iâm in need for some extra space, so Iâm looking forward in obtaining a new Hard Drive. My M/B doesnât support Serial ATA & I donât want to buy a SATA converter, so Iâve come down to choosing one of these three IDE HDs:
Western Digital WD3200 Caviar SE â 7200RPM â 8MB Cache â 320GB â 179 Euros
Sea Gate Barracuda Ultra ATA 7200 â 8MB Cache â 250GB â 125 Euros
MAXTOR 300R0 300GB - ATA133 BULK â 7200RPM - 16MB Cache - 300GB â 135 Euros
Iâve used WD & SeaGate HD before & theyâre both very reliable, even though SeaGate is supposed to be a bit more silent.
Iâve never used Maxtor before, but with 16MB Cache, 300GB @ 135 Euros, it looks like a better buy.
Is Maxtor silent like the Seagate & is it reliable?
So which one should I get?
Thanks in advance.
