I think the Western Digital Raptor X may be the fastest... But I really like Seagate, and especially their 7200.10 line of perpendicular recording SATA 3 Gbps, 16MB cache drives. Some are really cheap, too! You could have a blazing fast RAID 0 array with two of those things! Low $80's for a 250GB version! |

Seagate. I have 3x 160GB 7200.9 (8MB cache) series in my desktop and they work great. _________________ 5 home-built PCs, ASUS A6Jc Laptop, and a PowerEdge 2650 - all running Gentoo. Now if only I can get a car and plane to run it. Take a look at my Gallery! |

The Raptor 74GBs aren't overly expensive, but they're only SATA-I
The Seagate BB mentioned kick a$$. _________________

I never got a Seagate except a 400MB one, but I think I'll go with 2x 320GB perpendicular on my X2 4400 system to replace my "temporary" 8.4GB Quantum HDD. There's no real reason why I want to get 640GB, except that the 320GBs are the cheapest per gigabyte. (I want more for the money )
I've heard that there's a big difference between the same model HDDs, depending if they come from Singapore or China. IIRC, the ones from china/taiwan are told to be more silent. I'll have to Google a bit. |
