What Harddisk
Ok, ever wanting to speed my PC up, I'm thinking about getting rid of the 2x120GBs and replacing with 1x300gb. I currently have Seagate Barracuda, but wondering if I should go for something else and at what speed.
Ideas?
Thanks

what about Raid? Maybe upgrade your mobo to one that supports raid and use your existing disks. Should work out a fair bit cheaper as well.
IMO I wouldnt use Maxtor, I have had far to many failures both in my pcs and also pcs that I have built for other people. They aren't the quickest either.
