teslaI'm replacing my desktop's 80GB internal HD because I need more capacity.
Do I spend $80 on a 320GB, or $110 on a 500GB? Both are 7200RPM with 16MB cache and similar latency. The 500GB has slightly better seek spec, but this is negligible.
The question, really, is this: will I have 320GB worth of files before I replace my computer? (There's no chance of using this HD in the hypothetical new system, as I'm currently IDE and will go to SATA or SCSI.)
Hmm. Yeah, I prolly will. I've been talking about upgrading for the last 2 years now and haven't wanted to spend the money. Sigh.
Anyone?
