I'm looking for two new EIDE data drives for my desktop. The largest capacity which the motherboard BIOS will support is 160Gb at UDMA 100.
What would people recommend? They're going to be used for data storage - MP3, video, office files, game installation etc. The OS is on a separate SCSI drive. Applications accessing the drives will be things like Office, photoshop, dreamweaver etc.
I've been looking at the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 which is 7200RPM with 8Mb cache. I'm not so keen on IBM as I've had two IBM SCSI drives fail in the past.
Thanks.
Darren.
