| 459599 | 2006-05-31 23:39:00 | Quite often they're used in small servers, where an expensive SCSI system isn't necessary, or is simply not economically viable. | somebody (208) | ||
| 459600 | 2006-05-31 23:43:00 | just use it for a main HD. don't forget a lot of people never ever get anywhere near 30+gig of data. instead of buying a big hardrive buy one thats got some speed. if you have lots of MP3's or movies you could put them on a seperate big but slow hardrive. it all comes down to $$$ and how you USE your pc. |

| 459603 | 2006-06-01 01:32:00 | Don't know that I'd bother, can't remember where I read it, but apparently the 7200rpm NCQ HD's do the same job. | Shortcircuit (1666) | ||
| 459604 | 2006-06-01 03:30:00 | I wouldn't buy one. I'm quite happy with Seahate. Don't seem the need for a few nanoseconds more loading spped. | pctek (84) | ||
