400GB Hard Drive

And are twice the drain on your power supply.

 

Can anyone recommend a good reliable make of hard drive, I want to add
another 400GB to my setup, internal not external please. This will
mainly be a backup but also for storage of little used files, images
etc
Thanks

 

External is better.

Querying types compatible w. motherboard(s):
I
DE , SATA-I, SATA-II, SCSI ???

Querying also:
Type(s) of APPS, Environment, OS ???

 

Seagate has the best warranty and two 200GB drives are cheaper than one
400GB

 

They also generate twice as much heat.

 

And give you twice the speed.

Oh how the pros and cons go on.

 

Here is an interesting report on Various HD heat, power usage etc:

Surprisingly, Samsung is one of the best.

 

Thanks to all who responded, it's time to look at all the links and
decide what the next step is!
