^Its 3.6k and tell ur vendor that WD is one of the best ... err .... THE BEST HDD BRAND. GO for it . ITs great VFM. If you cant get it retail, get it from online shopping stores.

Its for 3.7k.
But since the service center is not in your town ... U should better go for Seagate ...
Seagate's service is pretty good and replacement takes only 3-4days.

Varad, add one more stick of 1 GB it would be OK. In 640 GB make not more than 4 paritions. But if you wanna maek more partitions I hope you know how to make it in XP.

Keep partition sizes big like 200 GB according to your data and how you wanna group them.
Check in the local market, and if they do not give your good price then buy from online site the price is 3600 now, maybe drops more by the time you go n check. heehe

When I had 250+750 (Now the 750 aint working ), I made only 4 partitions from the whole 1000GB . 1 for Windows OS (any), 1 for Linux (later turned it for XP as the other was used for Vista) [Both of this were on 250GB and each was of 25GB]. The other 200GB for data and one whole 750GB partition for data. I dont prefer more partitions :.

generally if you defrag your partitions regularly to reorder them, then access of data from the partitions does note gets as much slowed down.

Serial Advanced Technological Attachment (SATA).
Its the most used HDD technology right now and you should go with it. WD Caviar 640GB is SATA.

SATA2
Newer and a little faster but less used and less supported.

eSATA
external SATA for external HDDs.

I dunno which HDD you are using. Can be PATA or SATA or IDE.

Stick with the above mentioned HDD and you will be fine.

My Current HDD Is SATA. I Have Seen This In My MotherBoard Features:

Peripheral Interfaces Eight USB 2.0 ports
One serial port
One parallel port
Four Serial ATA interfaces
One Parallel ATA IDE interface with UDMA 33, ATA-66/100 support
One diskette drive interface


Can AnyBody Tell Me How Many Sata Ports Currently Iam Having?
And Can I Add One More HDD?

^^Its writtedn that there are 4 SATA ports clearly

So you can add three more SATA HDDs.
