Hi
After a recent lightning strike (see thread in general hardware) I need to replace my psu, so I'm geting a case at the same time. I thought that, while I'm doing this & paying the postage, I may as well update my hd too
So, my existing HD is a seagate ide 120gb (iirc) which is pretty full and ancient, but I want to add another hd with the minimum of hassle. I've heard that it's difficult to have an ide and sata drive running together, is that true?
Is there a simple option in the 250gb range that would work with my mobo & give me as little hassle as possible - with all my recent disasters (my bank 'lost' my pay cheque last month, which was nice, my pc and router have just gone up in smoke & I think my house ins may have lapsed
) I need to keep it as simple as poss.
However, I'd like to order it this afternoon, so please help!!
Thanks
