- Hey netters. Most specifically hard disk gurus.
-
- I'm tired of my 40M and I'm getting a bigger disk for Xmas. I want some input
- from the vast knowlege thats out there in netland. I have a 2000 with a
- GVP board that has the IDE interface and I have a NEXUS that is a SCSI
- controller so I can go either way. IDE makes sense so when I hit the ohio
- lottery I can get a 1.2 gig drive for my amiga and put the IDE in my AT (yes
- I have one. Great for checking - quicken). Anyway I'm looking to get a 200M
- drive and am debating on the following choices.
-
- Maxtor 7213A (IDE)
- Conner Cpp30204F (IDE)
- Western Digital WDAC2200 (IDE)
- Western Digital CAV2200 (IDE)
-
- The SCSI are generally running $100 dollars more than the IDEs and these are
- generally the cheaper faster drives. The western digital are generally the
- cheapest.
-
- 1. Anyone have any experience with any of these drives or any other comparable
- drives.
-
- 2. Any experience with these brands.
-
- I expect that there are many others out there that would also like this
- information so I will post a summary of all replies. If you have info that
- you're dying to share do so, if not save bandwidth and email me and I'll post.
-
- You're help is appreciated greatly.
