go in the middle and get the 640GB.

alexp999 · May 4, 2009

I want another 640GB :banghead:

I still keep coming back to it. Then it would free up that Fan bay adaptor

MoonPig · May 4, 2009

Great pictures Acid.

But then it's only £7 for the 750GB, then £11 more for the 1000GB...

Silly pricing.

alexp999 · May 4, 2009

Yeah but when do you stop?

Also dont forget to look at drive performance, the 640 GB is two 320 GB platters

Assuming its the WD6400AAKS u are looking at.

kyle2020 · May 4, 2009

Basically, how much space will you ever use? This 500GB drive is spot on for me, as Ill probably only fill like a third of it.

alexp999 · May 4, 2009

I dont need 640GB, but I wanted the performance of the 320GB platters.

And I keep going between wanting and another to Raid with, then convincing myself I dont need it :banghead:

Deleted member 24505 · May 4, 2009

I only have 2 250's and a 160 for steam,and the 250's still have space on them.

MoonPig · May 4, 2009

Well, need 500GB for my media. 80GB for my Steam folder and then theres Win7 and programs.

I want to run my Media on another HD so that everytime i format, i don't need to move hundreds of Gig's.

So i either:
Buy a 500GB+ for media
Buy a 320GB of OS + Programs + Steam. Use current 500GB for Media
Buy 2 160/250GB Drives and Raid0 them for the OS + Steam + Programs. Use current 500GB for Media

Id go for that. Try your luck with a WD3200AAKS, they should all be 320GB platter drives now

MoonPig · May 4, 2009

Ok, but here's the puzzle:

My current 500GB WD Black has corupted since the Mobo incident. So how do i move over 320GB of stuff so i can format it? Or do i just install my OS on the 320GB one, then go to MyComputer and manually delete the system files and keep the Media?

Hold on. The 320GB AAKS is only £6 cheaper than the 500GB version.

Like I say where do you stop

But yeah you should be able to just install oS on new drive and delete system files

Ketxxx · May 4, 2009

250GB is plenty for me, I'm just replacing the drive because its old... and slow. The 500GB Black will last me another good 5 years I reckon. The extra space is mainly just because I can.. and I have a friend with a lot of porn and I'm the only person he knows with a large enough HDD for him to copy an sort it all out on

Deleted member 24505 · May 4, 2009

Which is the fastest drive upto 640gb? i could do to replace my old 250's but i dont need masses of space.

alexp999 · May 4, 2009

WD6400AAKS is the fastest 640GB harddrive as it has 320GB platters.

The WD3200AAKS sometimes has a 320GB platter, sometimes two 160GB platters. its 50/50 (or at least is was)

MoonPig · May 4, 2009

I think i'll go for the 500GB WD. Seems a waste to put only media on a WD Black...

Ketxxx · May 4, 2009

I can't wait to have a new HDD, but crossfire 4830s is more important

MoonPig · May 4, 2009

Do you think this is a good idea for my Asus? Will it show at the sides as its 23"-37" ?

alexp999 · May 4, 2009

Surely it wont fit cus your monitor is 22"?

MoonPig · May 4, 2009

It supports my monitor though:

VESA 100

Also, it'll give me room for updating later on.

alexp999 · May 4, 2009

A lot of money tho, this would be better:

http://www.scan.co.uk/product.aspx?ProductId=20024

Down to £4.59 in today only.

MoonPig · May 4, 2009

Can that tilt though? And these's like NO info about it

alexp999 · May 4, 2009

Do you need it to tilt?

Here is the product page:

That one you linked to only tilts up and down tho.

MoonPig · May 4, 2009

That's what i need.

I just want to know whether it will show at the sides of my monitor, if it will - i'll go for the Scan one.
