Hi all,
As you may of guessed i'm looking for a new 250GB hard Drive.
I already have in my computer 2 250GBs which are MAxtor something or others.... they are both noisy and not exactly fast....
I also have a 120GB which is what is getting replaced.
I am not going to be using Raid at all as I use one HD for backup another for vista and another for XP.
Just wondering which drive people think is the best?
Im thinking that it's between:
Western Digital Caviar RE 250GB 2500YS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB ST3250620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Or
Samsung SpinPoint T HD321KJ 320GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Thing is, should I be looking for NCQ or not and does the 320GB Samsung actully have 16MB cache?
Thanks in advance, Doug.
