Im going to buy a new hard drive, which one?

[clarkey01]

Bit of a noob despite my age when it comes to hard drives, I currently have an 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 Hard Disk, I have about 200 pounds ($340) to spend on an new one to compliment the old one. I have an Asus P5B-E Motherboard btw.

here is the site I will be using

any ideas?


thanks:beer:

I want something fast, the one I got at the moment seems to be always screaming while nothing actually happens.

Don't go raptor, waste of money. Check the thread below this one lol, I asked the same question, and anandtech reviewed some harddrives. It seems the Wester Digitial 750gb is the fastest of the pack, and should come for less then 200 pounds.

If it's got a SATA port, you're good to go. Many don't feel they're worth the money, many do. I say :thumbsup:
