 New HDD?anyone know any sites to get a cheap internal HDD from? at least 750gb realisticaly, sata not fussed really wouldnt mind it being a "green" drive, cuz i cant see my CPU holding out much longer, as i havnt checked what it is, and im running 2 drives already.
the cheapest ive found are... £55.99 inc VAT - Western Digital Caviar Green 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache £64.99 inc VAT - Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache £61.31 inc VAT - 1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3, SATA £65.79 inc VAT - 1TB Samsung HD103UI EcoGreen F1 DT, SATA 32MB Cache £65.32 inc Vat - 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green, IntelliPower, 8MB Cache one thing ive never been to clear on is the cache as i understand it, its something about how much data is there already there on hand so it doesnt have to look to get it so if its something significantly other, im not too fussed, im only going to be using it as a media drive, im using a 320gb at the moment, and its full, my other 1tb drive has only 300gb left  cheers for ur help! _________________  *member of the welshcake appreciation society!

Re: New HDD? I've just got a 1.5Tb Samsung Ecogreen. Ebuyer have them for £73 inc P&P. I thought this was the best compromise between size and price, also very quiet and lower power usage.
