Seagate.


Edit:

Spend the extra $10 for the Samsung, only $4 really since it's free shipping on the Samsung, $6 on the Seagate.

Depends, Newegg drives are always OEM, pretty much just the drive. Dunno if retails come with cables anymore, they used to come with IDE cables, but it's been years since I bought from anybody but Newegg. Grab a SATA cable just to be safe, can never have too many.

So, i might need a power cable also. Great, newegg rips you off by adding $4 shipping to theses light weight things.

Just go to Frys to get one then.

i have a cable here from a old 939 board still wrapped up. The cable says, "serial ATA" which im guessing is right?

 

[Steve]

Yep.

Cool, i just need a data cable

Thanks guys/gals.

 

[Steve]

The SATA cable is the data cable. You may need a molex-to-SATA adapter as well, if your PSU doesn't have SATA power connectors.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Is this not freakin Off Topic?

 

[pyonir]

I'd get the Maxtor. Seagate sucks.

 

[pyonir]

I'm kidding. I'd get the seagate too.

 

[lokiju]

I've personally had more Seagate's die on me than anything else but have worked at a place that had tons of issues with Maxtor's so I'll vote for Western Digital.

 

[Twista]

bestbuy has this drive ==> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136040 for $150...


Western Digital 500GB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive
Model: WD5000KSRTL

So, im guessing Seagate is better because of the 5 year warranty?
