Sata drives I am thrilled with are: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3300831AS 300GB 7200 RPM |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
At $131, seems to be good value for money. Quiet, good reputation. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10,000 RPM |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I have two of these set up in software RAID0. Lightening fast, quiet given |
| 10 |
the speed. Expensive, but in my opinion, worth it. I see they have come out |
| 11 |
with 150GB. I'd better hold on to my pocketbook. |
