Switch

Try and get a 200/400GB Hitachi SATA-II HDD. Not sure about the prices but be prepared to shell out atlest 7-8k

Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 250 GB SATA 2 HDD = Rs. 6500
Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 500 GB SATA 2 HDD = Rs. 20000

I can get u a hitachi for 6K even steven eh??? :unamused_face:

switch i dunnoi y i dont trust too big hdd’s instead get 2* 160 gbs :slight_smile:

Already have 2 x 160 GB :stuck_out_tongue:

250 and 300 GB SATA II Hitachi models give reasonably good performance and have excellent performance/price ratio.

Above 300 GB, the price increases rapidly..

Disadvantages of two hard disks = more power consumption, more processor utilization, more heat in cabinet, more connectors required..

Advantages = Just one, less chances of failure of both HDDs..

I think i would rather go with the 1 large fast hard disk instead of multiple smaller hdds.. :slight_smile:

whts the cost of 250gb hitachi drive cost???

does sata 2 drives r supported on normal sata ports of the mobo???

also wht abt hitachi service centre in mumbai???does they hav any???
