Needs a new hard drive that has bang for the buck?

[Fatcatonrampage]

Okay, first of all, i have absolutely no knowledge about hard drives. i just know that my current hard drive is very slow and old. .... and here this six year old hard drive is...

"Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L080M0 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare Drive."

on a motherboard MSI A55M-P33


And please, I don't want the best because honestly i don't want to pay for it. I'm happy with anything above 100gb storage.

If you need any other specs (that i am unaware of me needing to say) i will be happy to tell you them so help a noob out?

You have 80GB that transfers at SATA Rev. 1 speeds of 1.5 Gb/s. That's your problem right there.

I know you said you don't want the best (this isn't the BEST, trust me), but this is a hell of a good price for a really nice hard drive that should last you for a long time.
