Large SATA Recommendations.

[slipd]

Hi guys,

I’m currently using 2x 160 GB Samsung SpinPoints in RAID0 giving me about 298 GB once formatted.

But this capacity is rapidly filling up, and I would like to relegate these drives to being my secondary drives, once I have a new mobo with dual RAID.

For the time being though I would like to know what you guys are using or can recommend? I’m after a couple of drives over 300 GB each preferably?

I’m tempted by the larger Samsungs but the Maxtors (I’ve never had any probs with them?) look good too?

Can I have some suggestions please

Cheers,

SW.

Hmm. Those 320 GB Seagates do look tempting? Good value too

So 2 of them in RAID0 will be quite quick I'd magine?

I don't know too much about perpendicular recording though - I might do some research

Why does everyone hate Maxtor then - I've got 2 IDE drives running in my main machine now and they're fine?

Thanks for your replies!

SW.

Yeah I think I'll go for 2 of the 320's

So, who ever gets them first, let us all know what they're like?
