----------When NewEgg or ZZF doesn't have it...who else for a HD??

[thatsright]

Looking for a reputable, online site that sells Hard Drives. I need a 20GB Western Digital HD. NewEgg seems to of put the drive in perpetual 're-order' status.

Not sure if WD makes a 20GB EIDE ATA Drive with a 8MB cache (or am I stuck with just 2MB?) Looking for something better than the measly 1 year OEM drive.

BUT, it MUST be a WD 20GB HD, as I'm replacing a Presario Desktop, so I don't want to try anything fancy....

Thanks

Bought my raptors from them. Great service, good pricing, too.

Why not a 40, 60 or 80 GB?

They are cheap.

But a 20gb, you do know you can replace it with a larger one right?

Because this is a Presario POS Desktop from 1999. To ensure compatibility, and no headaches, I gotta replace it with the original WD 20GB Hd..

A 40 should give you no problems.

YES, It will actually....

The POS PC has the original BIOS, so any HD larger than 30GB it can't see. And Compag has never updated the Mobo's Bios..
