Time for a new hard drive

[UKKillerUK]

Hi, im thinking of getting a SATA harddrive at the weekend. The thing is, im not sure which hard drive to go for. Im thinking of spending around £130ish max.

Originally I was thinking of getting two Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 NCQ 120GB SATA 8MB Cache harddrives and putting them in Raid 0. But, I have been reading some reviews and they have got a large seek time? Im not too sure what im suppost to be looking for in a hard drive.

Would it be better to get a fast harddrive such as the raptor or getting two slower drives?

Thanks a lot for any help you can give me.

Don't bother with RAID-0. Check out this for HDD choice.

I love my Samsung spinpoints, cheap and QUIET.

yeah, RAID 0 is really a waste of money. it only offers a slight performance increase in some apps.
