ken_cinder Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...p?EdpNo=1474382 Better performing drive, and 2 of them is half the price of one of those + 100GB. Deskstar series drives are known for their rather poor reliability too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) yup, it's all about SATA (Serial ATA) Edited February 4, 2006 by Weirdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 yeah, thats actually the one im gonna buy 16MB Cache *drools* Seagate has one like that too but tiger doesnt sell it Theres also a Seagate one just like the hitachi for 40 dollars less but im guessing Seagate is reselling Hitachi products with that one (or was that Maxtor?)

ken_cinder Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Seagate doesn't do any re-branding. Hitachi and IBM share the Deskstar branding, though I'm not sure which of them is the actual hardware manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 i think its Hitachi, Hitachi makes TONS of products they are rebranded sometimes more than once. Same with Mitsubishi. Right now i have two Seagate drives and a Maxtor in my other computer, I think Maxtors tend to last longer but i like the performance of the Seagates better.

Gryph Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'm just waiting for the perpendicular drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 And I'm waiting for holographic drives. The potential for them is far greater than anything else at this time. And they're coming soon....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 yeah and they are all going to come with new connector standards which means more upgrades >_< I think we are either about to hit, or are entering the beginning of one of those periods of time that comes along every once in awhile where its next to impossible to keep your PC up to date.

ken_cinder Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Whatchoo talkin 'bout Willis? That period of time is ALWAYS!You can go out and buy/build a new PC, and next week every god damn part in it is outdated. It's always been that way and always will be.Being outdated is only bad if you can't take care of your PC and the software contained within. I'm like way outdated and I can still keep up, because I don't have a huge junkpile of crap putting undue strain on my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 While i agree with you for the most part, You do have to admit that there are times where it is ALOT easier to keep up to date than others. Like when processors where stuck at 3.2GHz for like...ever and when the ATi Radeon 9800 was the best for a long ass time, same with the GeForce 4. Maybe i just look foward to the slowdowns in technology advances because i dont have the money to keep up with it at the moment so it gives me time to kind of catch up. Ive only had a completley (or at least close to) up to date speed machine PC ONCE in my life, and it was a 166MHz slightly upgraded Dell. (in fact im still using the nice monitor that came with it attached to my old Dell Laptop right now....500MHz) My fastest computer right now is 2.4GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
