Just looking for some thoughts on which one you would choose.
a 160gb 16m 7200rpm sata 150 drive.
or
a 160gb 8m 7200rpm sata 300 drive.
the brand doesn't really matter. i'm looking at the maxtor diamondmax 10, but i owe alligiance to none. If anyone knows of a 160 that has both 16m cache and 3G then point me in the direction and completely ignore the thread.
It's use is for the OS and application/game installations. so it's all access, there's no storage whatsoever. i have a seperate drive for storage, so it's all about seek time and performance.
if in my position, which would you go for? or an alternative drive altogether. i don't want a drive larger than 160. Please don't say raptor, i don't want a raptor. i'm not considering a raptor. I am fully aware that a raptor fits my exact needs perfectly, i however can't justify two to three times the price for it. i like performance, but not that much.
cheers.
