Defo need to upgrade my HD so was looking around and saw the Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 320GB ST3320620A ATA-100, Am looking at £80 tops :D but i want something thats pretty silent and all round good HD, I will just be used for data and i will run an 80GB what i have now for Windows.

Thanks in advance!!.

Am not all clued up on PC's TBH. I just thought sticking my OS and BF2 (only game i play) onto the 80GB which is a 7200rpm unit would be better as less info on there, than running everything on the 320GB?.

Ok, I have just looked and i have 2 SATA ports on my MB, So if i go down the route of SATA is there anything i need to do or is it just plug and play? I see some are SATA and SATA 2 will that work on mine?.

Also is there much diffrance in speed with ATA and SATA.

EDIT:

My MB is

RAID Support RAID 0 • RAID 1

Storage Controller Type(s) Serial ATA x 2, DMA/ATA-133 (Ultra) x 2

Just been reading people reviews and some have been DOA not good!.

Think i will go for the 7200.10 in IDE, Only reason why is i have heard funny storys that SATA doesnt always work plus mine MB can only take SATA 133.
