Which Hdds

[madman045]

Currently upgrading my pc

I have the following so far

A8N32-SLI
X2 4400
2GB Patriot
X1900XTX

Now i cant decide on which hdds to get

I want to run the primarys as raid 0, i was considering a pair of 74gb raptors, is this the best to go for, or can i get similar performace cheaper?

Also looking for an esata caddy or enclosure and one/two drives to go in for external storage.

What can you suggest?

Only drives i dont really want are maxtors..

Used WD and Seagate enough...

Thanks

A pair of raptors are seriously noisy, they are fast though. If noise is an issue, have a look at the Samsung drives, they are cheap and very quiet and speedwise are great.

another vote for samsung spinpoints, ive got 4 250gig sata ones and a 200gig ide one, they're uber quiet

Another vote for the Samsung Spinpoint, I have a very quiet 250GB SATA-II P120.

thanks all, so a pair of 250gb spinpoints, they are cheap...

So what about a esata enclosure and an additional drive for storage?

Total budget for all of this is around £220

Thanks
