Title: New HD
Post by: Styx on March 01, 2004, 04:40:54 PM

I’m looking for a new HD. I really don’t want to spend too much (around $100). Does any one know were I can find one online? Thanks for the help

pretty decent.  If you only needed about 36gb, you could get a 10,000rpm raptor on pricewatch for somewhere around 120 bucks.

Ummmm...how much does this cost?  If i were you, i rather buy 120 Gbytes and higher with 8 MB bugger.  I think you can get 120 Gbytes with 7200 RPM and 8 Mbytes buffer for around $50.

Seagate 160gb 7200rpm
$70 after MIRs, if you have the spending room go for it, Seagates kick ass.
