| 175354 | 2003-09-15 05:46:00 | Just wondering - What is the difference (besides the price :-) ), between a Maxtor 60Gb 7200 RPM @ $147.00 and a Maxtor 60Gb 7200 RPM Serial ATA @ $206.00. I guess the question should be - What is a serial ATA HDD? |

| 175357 | 2003-09-15 09:50:00 | Thanks Chill, nah my machine will be too old for serial ATA, but another little bit of knowledge gained - thanks. | Curly (487) | ||
| 175358 | 2003-09-15 12:25:00 | Seagate 120Gb drives with 8Mb of cache available from pp.co.nz for $230. Best deal around. | PoWa (203) | ||
| 175359 | 2003-09-16 12:15:00 | I agree with the Seagate. I had a lot of trouble with the Maxtor. I've now got the Barracuda 80gb. Seems to be doing okay. | makara (4567) | ||
