ok, im building a new pc, and was wondering about hard drives, is it better to go for ide or sata, or a combination, and i need two hard drives - one for back up, so would it better to have 1 big sata drive then a smaller ide drive if thats possiable, or is there much differance between two ide drives and two sata drive. Ide Drive - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=32012 Sata drive - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=50956 those are the two drive i would get
Buncha drives is better than 1 big one. Like a modest 80-120GB UltraIDE to start, and a coupla 120-160GB SATAs D: and E: would be nice (and not too expensive). Rather have that then 1 300GB drive, for many reasons. The ONLY downside is, you gotta fit them in your case and they can generate a lot of heat... But for performance, different drives (each on their own controller) is the way to go. L8R
does everyone else agree with this? yeh sounds kool, i would have an ultra ide 120gb and 1 sata 120gb (Y)
