Hi i have a 200GB maxtor 6l200mo ata which is on it's last leg's.
I'm after the fastest hardrive i can get for around 60 pound's with a ideal size of about 300GB

I don't know anything about hardrive so I'm hoping i came to the correct place for advise

Ok thx's a lot
What sort of proformance gain can i expect over my maxtor?Faster loading time's ect, stability would also be a nice gain over my maxtor When using sandra to benchmark my hardrive unlike the testsample's my hardrive start's of with a read speed of 59MB/sec and has dip's down as low as 24MB/s lol.Surely it should slowly slow down like the other hardrive's
