Hi,
Sorry, im a bit behind the times and wonder if you can help..
I have about £150 to spend on a new 120-250GB HD
Need for Gaming & browsing..

I have been looking at SSD's as the only thing letting my Pc down is the HD,
I have an old 250GB 7200 WD
I was wondering which ones were designed for Pc or whether it would be worth purchasing this one which is recommended for notebook. ????????

Ohh, i forgot........
Do i specifically need to purhase Sata 3 cables?
or Sata 2? or will the normal Sata i use now be ok?

*edit*
Just seen this
1. Device and mobo support SATA 2 - use of a SATA 3 cable will not get you the 6GB/s due to physical limitations of device and mobo.
2.Device and mobo support SATA 3 - use of a SATA 2 cable will not get you the 6GB/s due to physical limitation of the cable.
3. Device supports SATA 3, but mobo supports SATA 2 - using either SATA 2 or 3 cable will result in 3GB/s.
4. Device supports SATA 2, but mobo supports SATA 3 - using either cable will result in 3GB/s.
5. Device and mobo support SATA 3 - use of SATA 2 cable will result in 3GB/s
6. Device and mobo support SATA 3 - using a SATA 3 cable will get you the 6GB/s
