Hi,

I will be very grateful for your replies,
I desperately need a new hard drive to replace my 6.4Gb 5400RPM hard drive. I want fast load times for Windows applications and games. It needs to be reliable and again, it has to be FAST!
<b>Best Windows/Gaming Hard Drive</b>
Thanks

The 7200 rpm drives should all perform in about the same range, so it's really a matter of which one you like more. I'm partial to IBM drives, but that's just me.

If my baby don't love me, I know, I know, her sister will.

I've had nothing but great experiences from the D740x- reliable, more quiet than the IBM, and mad fast.

My frog asked me for a straw...dunno what happened he's all over the place :eek:

I'd like to vote AGAINST the IBM drive. I've seen one die and one crash now...

That's unacceptable.

Well Maxtor makes good drives... and I like Seagate too.

With a hovering case crashing takes a whole new meaning... :smile: .

Any WD JB will be fast.

That is a nice <b><font color=green>Garbage Can</font color=green></b> you have there!

Agreed, WD makes the fastest hard drives at the moment.

The message was directed to those who enter my post but find it boring and so leave the post without voting. It is not for those who have already posted.

I voted for the WD JB, but only because it's what I would buy at the moment. I don't own one though so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

You have 16 votes now... that is much for a poll about hardware.

I realized you realized, but I had to say what I had to say because I didn't feel the sarcasm in what you said.

IBM's are cool (temp) and fast, but back up your data! They die and crash. I'm not buying another IBM drive for a long time.

W/ my 75GXP, it would wake me up when it started searching. W/ the d740x's, i can barely hear em (and no, my hearing hasn't become worse).
