Really Confused > What Hard Drive?

[Ice Rich]

Hi,

At the moment I have a RAPTOR 40 gig Hard drive that I use for OS/APPS.

I need a bigger hard drive 40-80GIG. 50GBP to spend.

Problem is my motherboard (NF4 DFI EXPERT) does not have SATA2, but would it be worth spending the extra anyway for the future?

Any help appriciated.

As far as I know (& going by my last purchased HD), all hard drives are SATA2 now. But they have a jumper to disable SATA2 features making them compatible.

TBH 40~80GB HDs don't make economical sense thesedays Get a Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-018-SA) for £51.11 incl. VAT & your'e sorted!

Sounds good - is that a popular choice then? would it be worth spending the exrta on a 16mb cache?

Thanks

Are you sure, I have the DFI lanparty NF4 Ultra-D and can use SATA-II drives in SATA-II mode

My motherboard yesterday, and it does have SATAII - your right
