im probably buying a 60 gig wester digital (8 meg cache) to replace my old 20 gig, which for the last few months has been making weird clicking/whirring sounds

is this a good choice? for the same price i can get an 80gig maxtor (2meg cache) is the wester digital worth it?

my last drive was a wd and it seemed to do okay

ok my friend just got an 8Mb one for his computer
i was thinking its a good choice coz it will have better performance


but the thing is his computer was a P3 and only doing ATA33 on the main channels and ATA66 on the ultra ATA chip he has on his mobo.

so i would only recomend it if you have ATA100 at least
otherwise its not gonna be any faster.

i'd go with an 80Gb seagate personally

most of these hd's never exceed the ata66 standard so that shouldnt be an issue, that and itll be running on a p4pe board from gigabyte, so itll have the ata 100 standard

Yes. the 8mb cache drive is worth it. both for the extra speed plus the 3 year warantee.
