Storage Drives upgrade

[Greenlizard0]

I need some new internal storage drive(s) since I'm running out of space.

I swear by Western Digital, and have had a look at their 500GB range but can't figure out what the difference is between their 5000AAKB or 5000AAKS drives. There's ~£15 difference between them. I don't mind shelling out the extra cash if the more expensive drive is worth it. If I buy two I may stick them together as RAID 1, though that's not for definite.

I think they are both pretty much identical in performance, someone should be able to confirm this. The AAKB is just the IDE equivalent of the AAKS. Go for the AAKS, excellent drive and you now have to pay a premium to stay on the older IDE technology.
