120 or 200gigers?

[sup3rcarrx7]

I've almost filled up my 120 maxtors and was just wondering if i should invest in another 120 or a 200gb. Which companies would be best to get a 200gb hard drive from? It will only be used for storage purposes. Thanks.

I would get a Western Digital. I think they have 200's. I am a WD die hard. Great drives.

the only slight consideration might be if you have a ata100 motherboard....cuz if you do, you will have to use the pci controller card that comes with the 200g as opposed to not needing the pci card with the 120g....so keep that in mind especially if you are short of pci slots.

i second that

i've liked wd since the first computer i had no wait the second commodore 64 didnt have a hard drive

If you had a ATA133mobo a 200 would support?

[sup3rcarrx7]

Well actually i have a ecs k7s5a pro right now. The good thing is i have a Promise RAID controller card for ATA133 devices. So um.. yeah. Would it be better to get a OEM or retail drive also? thanks.

[Urban_Squrill]

OEM is cheaper but you just get the drive. I see no reason to get Retail.

oem vs retail.....depends on warranty
