Hello Hello
Tonight I need some help on buying a hard drive. I currently have a WD 80 gig. 8mb cache 7200 rpm, IDE HDD, the usual ya know. I have been getting into photo editing and gaming a lot lately. I want my new HDD to be my main drive of course and use my current (old) one for backup of important documents etc. I don't need a 400gb monster drive or nothing just 120 Gb+ I was thinking
I want a SATA II HDD With NCQ support (I have a new A8N-E so it will support it) I've been leaning away from raptors b/c of cost and low storage space. Which brand HDD is the best? Shopping on newegg for SATA II HDD there are 8 listed and none of them specifically mention NCQ support... Am I missing it or what?
I don't really want to go with a SATA I because I want to "future proof" my pc. I know everybody says that you can't begin to max out SATA I limit and that SATA II is just useless but still, I want one...am I crazy?
Is there any chance there is a 10k SATA II HDD in the works anywhere??? Guess on when one might be released?
Any comments or opions might help.
