hard drive - 14/07/2003 15:53
i was thinking of buying a 60gb to 80gb harddrive for my mark 2. r there any suggestions for a place to get the cheapest reliable one.
I have been using Googlegear for my 80GB drive purchases. At the time of this post, it is $256 plus free 2nd day shipping.Down to $202 right now... The free 2nd day shipping makes this a great deal. I almost ordered the Toshiba 80gb model from another store for about the same price, but they're back ordered until the 18th.
Is there a difference between the 5K80 at $250 and the 80GN at $202 that would be important to running on an empeg?Nope. I think the 5K80 is 5400 RPM (vice 80GN's 4200 RPM). On the empeg, a 5400 RPM or faster drive won't help you out at all, and will just create more heat and noise.
Cheaper one it isAnd how often does that happen to the likes of us?
