[hahahari]

Guys I have asus M2N MX SE Motherbuord and I want a new HDD....which one should I go for I checked and seems segate 320 Gb does the job but I need to know if My Mobo supports SATA2.

Thnx for all input.

AFAIK your motherboard will support SATA.
Get a Seagate HDD which should cost around 3600.

Does hitachi have any problems? I ask this bcs Seagate cost is a bit high at my place like 4K and hitachi is arnd 3.5K.........thnx nvidia8800

Hitachi is also gud. But seagate is the one which have highest sale due to easy availability nd faster service.
And M2N MX supports SATA II.
And both of em has 5 yrs warranty.

^ thnx man.....ordered a 320 GB STA seagate.

thnx again.

M2n mx supports sata-2 and western digital performs better and is also way too silent.just make sure the one u get has 16mb buffer

Ok guys,I will ask abt them too.

^^See if you can get a HDD which supports Perpendicular Recording...

 

[nish_higher]

hey even a 320 gb has perpendicular recordng??

 

[nvidia]

^^Not sure...
Maybe they have.. But they will cost more i think

 

[j1n M@tt]

ya, perpendicular recordng starts from 320GB HDD models and upwards.

 

[nish_higher]

[j1n M@tt]
