New Harddrive

[cowsled]

Hey guys, most of the parts for my new computer arrived last week and I installed Windows yesterday (Vista x64). I noticed how I was running out of space on the harddrive I run my programs off (36gb raptor) and I was thinking of getting a new one. I was offered a SCSI harddrive (10k RPM as well) by a friend to replace my raptor and I was wondering if it would be a wise replacement? The SCSI drive is used and comes with a board. Also, i'm getting it for free . If yes, is there anything I should know about SCSI drives? (This is my first one). Thanks

Given the price of drives, I'd get a Seagate for storage, the size would depend on how much stuff you have and expect to accumulate 36GB should be enough for just the OS/programs

It would be a fine replacement so long as it comes with the board required to run it. The boards are pricey.

Free is always good :>>

Free board indeed . What kind of performance boost should I expect? Minor? Also, what of the noise level? Lower?
