Reccommed me a Hard Drive

Playboy · 2008-01-15 09:59:28

Want to put a couple of new hard drives into my gaming rig. Was going to go for Raptors but I heard that there are better alternatives out there. Looking for a combination of performance and size. Thanks

any of the 7200.11 drives 500gb size would do perfectly. fast read/write times and huge size. 97 euro from komplett.

The Samsung Spinpoint 500GB drives get good reports (but I've been looking from a HTPC point of view rather than gaming - they're apparently very quiet).
