Are Western Digital SATA2 drives any good?

It's a good price certainly, I doubt you'll beat the £/Gb at the moment. Haven't used a WD drive in years so can't really comment, I've avoided them since we had a bad batch in the office, lost about 20 machines in 6 weeks.

These are the new spangly 160GB per platter drive and offer slightly better performance than the previous 5000KS product.

When I have some cash, I think I might hold out for an offer like this

Or can we put in 'wish lists' for things we'd like to have on special still??

I've got to try and buy 2 24" TFT's for the two PC's I have in front of me too.....

I bought a 2500KS (250GB version of that drive) for £92 this time last year, it's amazing how quickly the storage market is going.

Go for it, they're top drives for the price.

I'll see what happens nearer to the time when I have the cash then.. If they are on offer, I'll have a few of them
