recommend a hdd for £75

ok, havn't bought one in a while and want it to be big..... say 120gb would be nice, also with 8mb of cash and 7200rpm....

now all i need to kno is where is the cheapest place that sells them and also what is the best? the only thing i can see that maxtor has over the wd is the ata 133 but that doesn't really mean much in true tests. so whats better? wd, maxtor or something else?

thanks guys.

 

i have 2 120gb DM+9's and i wuv them lots and lots
120gb
160gb

 

yeah those 2 seem to be the best i've found so far? can n e one else do better?

 

Hitachi? their 120/160 7200 8mb drives are meant to very fast and nice and quiet as well... Not sure about prices but i think they were no more than WD/maxtor last time i looked....

 

any maxtor, seagate or western digital will be fine. Although I have heard the latter are performing poorly at the moment!!

 

get the western digital 120gb i have 3 of them and they are great

 

ok cool, thanks guys.

 

im a segate man now. had too many maxtor deaths myself

 

I have had a maxtor for about 7 months and it is good. Quiet and fast!

 

I had a maxtor fail on me in the less than a year of having it, it was one of the 80gig D740 thingys or whatever they're called. Got two more maxtor drives that are working fine, one 80gig DM+9 ata and another 120gig of the sata variety.

 

my 2 120gb DM+9's have been going for about a year no probs
i just got another 250gig maxtor too

 

Just ordered one of these for £83 inc deliv. Should receive it on Thursday as a replacement for my Barracuda IV which has 11 bad sectors and now takes 7 mins to boot.

Best price ive seen for a 160gb 8mb cache drive.

 

Maz beats me to the OCUK link!!

I've just recieved mine today - will get round to ghosting windows across to it tomorrow from my not overly fast (but quiet) 700.7 seagate.
