What Drive 250-350gig

VeNT · 7 Sep 2006 at 22:11

looking for a hard drive, I have to back up all my data from a load of 80gigs on 3-4 PCs before the insurance co take them away, so I'm looking for a 250gig + drive that will be good enough for my system when the insurance money comes though!
needs to be fast and have a good £/gig ratio

I was looking at the Seagate 320s, are these the best atm?

I think the 7200.10 are the "bees knees" apparently.

Comments on these, and other forums, would seem to make them the best ones around currently.

You also get a 5 year warrenty too!

Yep the seagate 7200.10's are the drives to get currently.

cool, now all I need to know is,
is there any converters available to connect SATA drives to PATA cables? i know you can do it the other way (got one with my NF7-s V2) but not seen any for this way round?

Never seen one, but a PCI card with two SATA ports would be the easiest way, assuming you have a free PCI slot that is.
