 Topic: Internal HD
Posted: 12 October 2005 at 11:24pm |

Hi guys,
Looking for an internal HD, >= 400GB. This drive will be used to store my music collection on in WAV format.
Because it will simply be used for music, seek time and RPM really don't matter that much.
Anyone recommend a good one?
Tom

Personally I prefer WMA if I have a choice. MP3 has to high of a loss especially when you pipe it to your Stereo system you can tell quality differences.
As for HD's/ I was always happy with WD's, though I don't think there are many differences in large drives, I assume they all run 7k rpm or so anyway. If you don't already have enough music to fill it up get two 200GB and stripe them, speed is slower than single but you got a mirror when one fails...

I'm going to buy a decent hi fi soon, and will be storing my CD music collection in wav format on a big HD. Theres no point playing mp3 through a decent hi fi, you loose a lot of quality.

one of the three that Boss said would be safe... anything else, especially at that size, is a danger... mostly to the files on it, but still a danger...

Seagate Sux.. I always have problems with their drives for some reason.
MAXTOR is always my first choice
