Looking for a new hard drive

[DiscoDave]

Hi Everyone,

Currently I have a 250GB SATA 1 and a 80GB IDE drive and im currently thinking about getting a 500GB drive and throw out the old 80GB.

I've been out of the loop with the hardware industry for some time now but for some reason the Samsung SpinPoint (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-036-SA&tool=3) drive seems to pop into mind...

Can you guys and gals please comment on if this drive is any good and if applicable, any alternate reccomendations? I would appreciate it?

Thanks,

David

Aye to be honest my 80GB is a WD Caviar drive which I have been more than impressed with.

The AAKS series was another drive I had my eye on. Hmmm, decisions decisions

Well i may put linux on it, but if i get a 500GB drive i might just partition 100GB of it for that purpose
