Im getting a harddrive for our caribean holiday called "Los Tres Reyes Magos" that translates to "Three Magic Kings", Anyways i dont know which harddrive to get since i have no idea what that ATA and stuff means. I have a Dell Dimension 8300 and i want to install it as a second harddrive and want to use it so i can have more games installed. I aiming for a 40gig hd. Any one got any links ?
Thanks in advance
Best bet for cheap internal is newegg.com. Stay away from Western Digital; at my old job they have proven to be unreliable and crash-prone compared to most others, in their experiences. You'll definitely want at least a 7200rpm one for gaming. And...internal's good, but...
...if you have a firewire port, you might want to consider this Maxtor model I just got myself. Installing games to it, it seems to work great, and it has an earth-shattering 160 gigabytes of space. It only cost me 200 bucks retail, so I bet on newegg you could find it for plenty less.
EDIT: didn't see that western digital drive there that you posted. That's a good deal, I'd take it. Even if the drive does give you any grief, you're only using it for games so reinstalling is always an option.
