janice Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) It looks like Im going to have to replace the Primary Sata hdd on my main pc as it has toasted my OS. Has anybody heard of some really good deals on Sata2 drives in the 80-500gb range? Sata2 is better than regular Sata isnt it? Would an external hdd be better than an internal one? All Satas have NCQ tech dont they? I was lookin at these ...newegg.comHeres a 250gb sata for $59 ...250gb western digital hdd Edited October 20, 2007 by janice Quote
janice Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 Well I ended up getting a Hitachi drive. A 250gb sata drive because it was about the same price locally as what I could have got thru the mail after you include shipping.I have never seen a drive freeze up so many times just to install an OS. It must have froze at least 30 times. I doubt this is good for the drive. It even froze trying to its own scandisk or checkdisk or whatever you call it. So i took it back. This time its worse. :confused02: Quote
Sage Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 sounds like we may be in the same boat. I have a WD 250 have spinup problems, just ordered a new Seagate 250GB IDE drive. Hope mine goes smooth. Quote
Kelsenellenelvian Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 A drive like that should never freeze up on you... Quote
dirtwarrior Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I order stuff from newegg and I do like seagate HD Quote
janice Posted October 28, 2007 Author Posted October 28, 2007 The last one that went belly up on me was an 80G sata Seagate Barracuda. Quote
