Hi all im after a new harddrive.
Got an IBM deathstar atm
It makes a high pitched noise and i want a new drive anyway.
I want to go sata as it is faster than ata? Anyway can anybody recommend me a fast and silent sata drive? I know about the raptors and cant decide whether to spend that much, will a 40gb 8mb cache hdd be as fast as a 120gb one? Providing all is identical apart from size?
I think my mobo only supports sata1, not sure, but will sata2 drivers work on it even if its sata1?
Is sata2 faster than sata1?
Thanks
