750GB hardrive from seagate

For the same price could you not just get say 3x250gb external drives which you can then just daisychain?

That way if one drive breaks you haven't lost all your data, plus it's easier to take round a mates to transfer stuff over to their computer.

We had a specific need to put all the data on one drive so that the MD could put it in his hand luggage.

Horses for courses.

Looks good. Dabs are selling them for £71.55 for the 320GB version.

Am I tho only person who finds that ammount of storage fucking mindblowing for such a low price?

In my day a few megs cost millions, luxury etc.

Best value around at the moment is the samsung spinpoint @ £52 for 250GB (SATA or IDE) at overclockers.co.uk. I'm thinking about picking one up soon.

Wow, that really is good.

I think I paid about £80 for a 300 SATA a few months back.

May have to get one of them, too, I still have a SATA slot spare.

Wouldnt ever go for anything other than Seagate at the moment, clearly on top of their game and with a new shiny 5 year warranty.

That 300GB one is a Seagate. And I'm wrong, it was £100.

The 7200.10 line might be enough to lure me back to them. The 7200.8/9 weren't very impressive, the only thing they really had going for them was the warranty (not to be sniffed at )

The 7200.10 line might be enough to lure me back to them. The 7200.8/9 weren't very impressive, the only thing they really had going for them was the warranty (not to be sniffed at )

Warranty's are all well and good,i just want something that works, i would buy a decent product over a 100 year warrenty, thats me anyway

I remember having to boot the OS off a single floppy disk drive. A 20MB hard drive was an optional extra.

Amigas.

Got a few Seagates and had no problems. Touch wood. but still all that stuff in one box. Accidents happen.

Menuet Os boots of a single floppy on modern hardware.

I like my Seagates and I send less back than any other drive but I tend to be conservative when it comes to hard drive technology, experience says never buy the first million and I like the 7200.9's @ 300GB and would prefer to put five of them in 3ware RAID5 than 2 of 7200.10's in RAID1 any day.

If the Jumps in power consumption continue as they have in this step 12.6W from 8.1W in RW & 9.3W from 6.9W at idle then some people are going to start needing some more juice connected to their arrays.
