Does anyone know of any compelling reasons to buy the new 7200.9 over the 7200.8? I was planning on getting a 250GB 7200.8 PATA based on the Tom's article on HDs, but now there's a new 7200.9. If its faster than the 7200.8 then I'll probably wait. Does anyone know if its faster.
Also, I'm sure this is posted elsewhere, but you need to boot off of a floppy to use a SATA drive with older mobo's even if its not the boot disk right? I have an MSI KT6V-LSR. I'd like to get a SATA, but I don't have a floppy drive.
Thanks!
