Need 2 fast HDD's

VortX · 27 Apr 2007 at 18:43

As above I need ideas for 2 quick and quiet HDD's. I will be getting 2, one for XP and one for Vista. I play mainly games so I need one that is fast at loading times and Windows startup would also be good. I have been on Tom's hardware HDD charts and I can't make heads or tails out of it. So please... Fire away

Yes agreed they do look amazing drives however im on budget. I need 2 HDD's for roughly £50-£60 each. Need them to be at least 250GB each aswell.

Totally agree.

The WD....AAKS series of HDDs are excellent, have 2 x 500GBs of these.
