Big and good HDD's ???
Following the addition of Hl2 I have virtually extiguished my Hard disc space now..
I was wondering what other Hdd's there are on the market that would better a "Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA 8MB Cache" (4.5ms seek)
I want something huge and I'm not sure if I can get a Raptor bigger than this?
I have seen the "Hitatchi deskstar 400GB SATA 8MB Cache" but it's lacking seek time @ 8.9ms.
I was hoping to get two to replace my current raid array "Raptor 37GB SATA 10,000rpm 4.5ms seek" (RAID 0 70GB)
What's out there??

Why not get 2 of those for your 'fast' bits and a crappy IDE thing for volume?

I have 2 SATA's in RAID 0 as my C: drive now, it's just they aint big enough..
My video and Archive Hdd's are nearly full after moving some games off of C: to make space for HL2..
Does that make more sence.

how can half life 2 wipe out your hard disk havent got the game but i bet a full install can only take up about 6 gig most modern games take this up ??? just add another drive , a 200gig ATA drive is about £70 and a 200gig SATA drive is about £77 its not that much extra space but if one game filled your drive its gonna keep you going for ever
