Two more HDs

[clone]

Hi
I want to buy two new harddrives for Raid use, they should be fast and be able to store at least 70 GB. I was going to buy the IBM deskstar 75 GB, but then I saw that both Seagate and Western also had high performance hds. So my question is that do anyone of you have a Western or a Seagate that can store 70 GB and up, because if you do please tell me how they are doing.

Thanks!

I've got two 20 GB WD but I'm not impressed with their access time. When I raid both in mode 0 the combined access time is a little more than 25 ms. I recommend using the IBM 60GXP 40Gb which goes as low as 106.00 at Newegg. Two at mode 0 (striping) totals to 80 GB and they are fast and quiet.
