So I need a new HDD in the next few days. I would like one that features SATA 2 speeds of 300/mb, NCQ and 16 mb cache. However, until the 7200.9 comes out, there is not a HDD that has all 3 of those features.
Option 1:
HDD with 150/mb transfer (SATA 1), NCQ, 16mb cache: Maxtor Diamondmax 10
Option 2:
HDD with 300/mb transer (SATA 2), 16mb cache: WD Caviar (no NCQ BTW)
Which option is better? Anyone have any helpful hints? And yes my mobo does support SATA 2.
