ThC 129 0 Posted February 20, 2001 Im currently specing out my new system Im going to build in the coming months so i was wondering what HDs people like and recommend. Im looking to buy 2 drives so I can have a 2 drive RAID array. This/these drive(s) will be mostly used for buisness things such as audio editing multi-media spreadsheets, and some game playing. Pre-Reqs: at least combined storage of 80gigs preferably 100. 7200RPM or higher ATA100 support. Stable drive that will last Share this post Link to post
BladeRunner 0 Posted February 20, 2001 Either 2x 45GB IBM 7,200rpm ATA-100 or 2x 60GB IBM 7,200rpm ATA-100. You can't beat those IBM units. Share this post Link to post
Four and Twenty 0 Posted February 20, 2001 I also recommend the IBM Drives as well as the Maxtor 7200 rpm ATA100 drives. Also what card are going to use to run your array? I have 2 Abit Hot Rod Pro 100 cards in my system now and they are working flawlessly with WinME, 2k, and XP. ------------------ My System Dell Demension XPS T500 Triple Boot Windows 2000 Pro 2195 Windows Whistler Pro 2428 Windows Millennium Final Retail PIII @ 500 Mhz (with after market heatsink and dual fan) 512 Megs Ram Guillemot Maxi Gammer Cougar (TNT2 M64 w/ 32 Megs of RAM) Matrox Millennium PCI (w/ 4 Megs of RAM for second monitor) 3Com Etherlink XL 10/100 Ethernet Card 2 x Abit Hot Rod Pro ATA-100 RAID Controlers 2 x 12.6 Gig Maxtor Hard Disks RAID 0 (for system) 1 76.3 Gig Maxtor Hard Disk (for storage) 40X LG CD Rom Drive 100 Mb Iomega Internal Zip Drive MS Explorer Mouse MS Natural Keyboard Pro And not a single piece of software that I actually own Share this post Link to post
